§ 4-1. Debt settlement proposal (forslag til gjeldsordning)

The debtor (skyldner), or the person assisting the debtor, shall as soon as possible after the expiry of the deadline for the creditors (fordringshaver) to submit their claims, prepare a proposal for a voluntary debt settlement.
The proposal is submitted to the enforcement officer (namsfogden), who shall ensure that it is not in conflict with §§ 4-2 to 4-10.

What does this mean?

This section starts the proposal phase of a voluntary debt settlement. The debtor (the person who has the debt), possibly together with a helper, must write the proposal as soon as the deadline for the creditors to submit their claims has passed. The finished proposal goes to the enforcement officer. The enforcement officer checks that the content stays within the limits set out in § 4-2 to § 4-10. These limits concern, among other things, what the settlement can involve, what the debtor gets to keep, and how the money is distributed among the creditors.
