The text of the law (unofficial translation)
§ 35. Payment in the event of accident
What does this mean?
The section protects you from having to pay for work or materials that have been destroyed or lost through an event you are not to blame for. The protection applies to events that occur before the time for assessing defects. Under § 20 (1), as a general rule this is when the job (oppdrag) must be considered completed, and if the tradesperson (håndverker) has items (ting) that belong to you, not until you have taken them over. The section is in Chapter VI on payment and cooperation (medvirkning), alongside § 34 on preliminary inspection (forundersøkelse) and § 36 on invoices (regning).
