Frostating Court of Appeal

The Frostating Court of Appeal (Norwegian: Frostating lagmannsrett) is one of six courts of appeal in the Kingdom of Norway. The Court is located in the city of Trondheim. The court has jurisdiction over the counties of Trøndelag and Møre og Romsdal. These areas constitute the Frostating judicial district (Norwegian: Frostating lagdømme). This court can rule on both civil and criminal cases that are appealed from one of its subordinate district courts. Court decisions can be, to a limited extent, appealed to the Supreme Court of Norway. There are 19 permanent judges on this court. The chief judicial officer of the court (Norwegian: førstelagmann) is currently Sven-Jørgen Lindsetmo. The court is administered by the Norwegian National Courts Administration.
