The text of the law (unofficial translation)
§ 7-8. Relationship to the Enforcement Act
The rules in chapter 2 of the Enforcement Act, 5 and 6, with further references, apply as far as they are appropriate.
What does this mean?
The section fills gaps in the Debt Settlement Act by borrowing rules from another act. Certain chapters of the Enforcement Act, together with what they themselves refer to, take effect in these cases where they are appropriate.
The Act says nothing more about which rules this covers. The section sits between § 7-7 and § 7-9, which deals with information to the enforcement authorities (namsmyndigheten). What specifically applies must be read in the Enforcement Act itself, and only as far as the rules are appropriate for debt settlement.
