The bailiff in Oslo is a public body that is responsible for several important tasks related to enforcement and handling of debts. The office carries out compulsory collection of claims, which means that they can assist creditors in collecting unpaid claims. In addition, the Norwegian Tax Administration has the authority to carry out forced sales, where assets can be sold to cover debts.
Furthermore, the Norwegian Public Prosecutor's Office offers mediation to resolve disputes between parties, as well as the opportunity to deliver a judgment in certain cases. The office also handles debt arrangements, attachment transactions, and can assist with evictions and handing over of assets. Compulsory coverage and service of documents are also part of their area of responsibility, which makes the Customs Enforcement Officer a central player in the Norwegian legal system.
