Norwegian term

formålsparagraf

Norwegian to English Social Sciences Law (general) laws and regulations
"formålsparagraf" for skoler etc

Have looked everywhere for a suitable word in English but hit a blank. Can I use by-law?

Seems that "statutory clause" is in use in the US:
"The term statutory objective means the purposes of the
legislation as stated in an act, statute or ordinance or ....etc"

Seems that "objects clause" is in use in the UK:
"Company’s memorandum must contain an objects clause - a clause which states the purpose or purposes for which the company was incorporated"
