Christopher Schröder Sep 3, 2020:
For the record, then, the usual convention with Norwegian legislation in English is for an act to be divided into chapters, sections, paragraphs, items. Sometimes the paragraphs are numbered, in which case they may be referred to as subsections. Forvaltningsloven doesn’t have numbered subsections. So, in keeping with both convention and the official translation of the act itself, the correct version is Section 13, first paragraph, item 1. There is a case in this abbreviated context for simply 13(1)(1). But “s. 13 (1) /subs. 1/ no. 1” is simply wrong. Not sniping but fact.

That's it! Thanks. I would love to give your credit, Chris, but by now I am resigned to the notion that you don't offer your suggestions as definitive answers. I'll work with that. Cheers!

Exempt from public access under freedom of info act cf public admin act forvaltningsloven, you can figure out the rest I’m sure.

Perhaps do a ProZ search beforehand in the hope, trust and faith that a kindred question has been asked before and deigned to be graded by someone without a Viking 'axe to grind'.

Note that the Germanic symbol of § for section is not normally used in ENG legislation albeit does pop up in legal textbooks.

Jeffrey Engberg:
(U.off., untatt offentlighet) Exempt from public disclosure
(offl., offentlighetsloven) Freedom of Information Act / Public Access to Information
Another statute/act that comes up often in the same context:
(fvl. Lov om behandlingsmåten i forvaltningssaker / forvaltningsloven) Public Administration Act
(sktbl. skattebetalingsloven) The Tax Payment Act

Pls. note that I considered 'classified' and 'restricted use' only because exempt from public disclosure and 'legally professionally privileged' had been too long to fit on to the answer line.

neutral Christopher Schröder : Not classified, that’s different. And too many 1s... /// Glad you didn’t teach me to mistranslate 13 1 1 as 13 1 1 1 ;-) classified info comes under the security act in Norway /// lighten up, nobody is infallible!

Your discussion entry doesn't add anything to the glossary, nor explains how to format the sections - I'd have taught UniS PG trans. students if I'd accepted the late Prof. Gunilla A's offer 1990-2000.// You do that anyway whilst sniping from the wings
Something went wrong...
