Source-derived summary

The Appeals Selection Committee of the Supreme Court (in Norwegian Høyesteretts ankeutvalg) was originally a court of Norway in its own right. However, it no longer constitutes a separate instance – a case will be decided upon either by the Appeals Selection Committee or by the Supreme Court. The Appeals Selection Committee intermittently comprises three Supreme Court Justices appointed by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Norway.

In penal cases which have been appealed from the Lagmannsrett (Court of Appeals) and in civil action cases where the appeal pertained to a substance valued at less than NOK 100,000, a leave from the Appeals Selection Committee is required for the case to be tried before the Supreme Court. Besides, the Appeals Selection Committee is authorized to reject appeals if, among other things, the possibility of a successful appeal is obviously non-existent.

Besides, the Appeals Selection Committee is the final authority on appeals.

The rulings of the Appeals Selection Committee are published in Norsk Retstidende (Norwegian Law Reports).

Pursuant to the implementation on January 1, 2008, of the Lov om mekling og rettergang i sivile tvister (tvisteloven), the Appeals Selection Committee of the Supreme Court changed its Norwegian name from Høyesteretts kjæremålsutvalg to Høyesteretts ankeutvalg, on account of the sole use of the term anke (appeal) instead of the antiquated synonymous term kjæremål.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Appeals Selection Committee of the Supreme Court of Norway” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Appeals, Selection and Committee provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 23, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q4780982. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2008 and 2003.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
