§ 51. Enforcement

With the exception of Chapter 8, the Norwegian Consumer Authority (Forbrukertilsynet) and the Market Council (Markedsrådet) shall monitor compliance with provisions laid down in or pursuant to this Act.

What does this mean?

This section says who makes sure the rules in the Act are followed. The task lies with the Norwegian Consumer Authority and the Market Council. Chapter 8 on the travel guarantee (reisegaranti) is left out, since it is followed up in a different way. Supervision is carried out using the tools in the Marketing Control Act, a different law.

The section is in the chapter on enforcement and sanctions. Together with § 52 on administrative fines (overtredelsesgebyr) and § 53 on penalties, it shows how breaches of the rules can be dealt with.
