The text of the law (unofficial translation)
§ 10. The time for performance
(1) The service shall be completed within the time that has been agreed or that is reasonable, particularly in relation to what is usual when performing similar services.
(2) The service provider (tjenesteyteren) shall also comply with agreed deadlines for commencing the service or for the progress of the work.
What does this mean?
The section sets out when the work must be done. If a time has been agreed, that time applies. Otherwise, the job must be finished within a time that is reasonable for this type of work. The service provider must also keep agreed deadlines for starting and for progress during the work.
The rules on what the consumer (forbrukeren) can do in the event of delay (forsinkelse) are in § 11, which refers to this section.
The section sits alongside the rules in § 5 on performance and materials (materialer) and § 9 on additional work (tilleggsarbeid).
