Information in English
The Remuneration Committee was appointed by Royal Decree on 20 June 2025. It consists of a Chair and four members, all of whom bring extensive experience and specialist expertise in law, economics, and public administration to the Committee. The Committee has been mandated by the Government to carry out a comprehensive review of the remuneration scheme for lawyers, court-appointed expert witnesses and interpreters, as well as the regulatory framework governing the scheme.
The Committee is tasked with proposing a coherent regulation and organisational structure for the remuneration scheme. This should ensure the quality of the services covered by the scheme is maintained, while also promoting the efficient use of public resources. The Committee’s findings will be presented in an Official Norwegian Report (NOU), to be submitted to the Ministry of Justice and Public Security by 31 December 2026.
The purpose of the review is to establish a robust base of knowledge on how to best regulate the scheme of remuneration for professionals engaged in public assignments. The services covered by the scheme are vital to the proper functioning of the rule of law. Specific challenges relating to independence, quality, and accessibility in the provision of these services mean that any proposed changes must be grounded in thorough and wide-ranging analysis.
