Overview of Complaint:
Complainant filed a legal application – Writ of Habeus Mentem - to the Oslo District Court in the Norway v. Breivik matter being adjudicated by Judge Opsahl. Judge Opsahl refused to provide any judgement to the applications whatsoever, whether to clarify any procedural errors by the applicant requiring correction, or to deny the applications with written reasons in accordance to due process. [See complaint against Chief Justice Tore Schei: The complainant finally filed an application for review to the Norway Supreme Court, who refused to hear the application stating “that the Supreme Court of Norway only handles appeals against judgments given by the lower courts and can consequently not deal with the issue mentioned in your e-mails”; even though Judge Opsahl’s conduct clearly indicated irregularities in her refusal to provide a ‘judgement’].
Judge Opsahl’s conduct is a violation of her CCBE Code of Ethics duty to:
(2.1) Independence: to be totally free and independent from all other influences, including political or media (public relations) influence or pressure;
(2.2) Honesty: withholding of honest information is a form of lying and deception, and also a violation of the principle that the rule of law requires legislation (or judgements) to be adequately accessible and sufficiently precise to enable people to regulate their affairs in accord with the law (Lithgow & others v United Kingdom );
(2.4) Multiculti Legal Respect: Complainant is a paralegal member of the Radical Honesty culture [See: SA Constitutional Court Order by the Chief Justice in CCT 23-10: The Citizen v. Robert McBride on 03 May 2010: “The Chief Justice has issued the following directions: Ms. Lara Johnstone, Member of the Radical Honesty Culture and Religion is admitted as an Amicus Curiae.” (Annex A)] and does not think it is too much ‘Multiculti Legal Respect’ to ask for any honest, impartial Judge to provide any individual, not just lawyers from ‘legal organisations’, with a fair honest response to their legal application to their court;
(4.1) Rule of Law Conduct: Provide all applicants with honest and clear response from the Court regarding the status of their applications, in terms of the rule of law principle that requires legislation (or judgements) to be adequately accessible and sufficiently precise to enable people to regulate their affairs in accord with the law (Lithgow & others v United Kingdom )

Vi har mottatt din e-post med bilag.
Disiplinærmyndighetene behandler klager på advokater som skal ha opptrådt i strid med Regler for god advokatskikk eller for øvrig i strid med domstolloven eller annen lov, samt klager over at en advokat har krevd for høyt salær, jf. Advokatforskriftens § 5-3 og Behandlingsregler for Advokatforeningens disiplinærutvalg.
Disiplinærmyndighetene vurderer primært advokatens opptreden i forhold til de advokatetiske regler og kan bare i begrenset utstrekning ta stilling til, og eventuelt overprøve, kvaliteten på de råd advokaten gir i anledningen behandlingen av konkrete saker. For at advokatens faglige utførelse av et oppdrag skal anses som brudd på Regler for god advokatskikk, må det foreligge klare feil eller forsømmelser fra advokatens side. En alminnelig kvalitetsvurdering av advokaters arbeid og faglige utførelse av oppdrag faller således i utgangspunktet utenfor klageordningen.
Klager mot advokater som er medlemmer av Advokatforeningen, behandles av Advokatforeningens disiplinærutvalg som første instans. I disse klagesakene er Disiplinærnemnden ankeinstans. I klagesaker mot advokater som ikke er medlem av Advokatforeningen, er nemnden første og eneste instans, med mindre advokaten samtykker i at Advokatforeningens regionale utvalg skal behandle saken.
Dommer Nina Opsahl er ikke praktiserende advokat og din henvendelse legges til arkiv i det disiplinærmyndighetene ikke kan behandle klagen.

Ms. Beate Sundstrøm
Secretary / executive officer
Disciplinary Committee for solicitors
Ms. Sundstrom,
Thank you for your response in Norwegian. I have used google translate to translate it, so am not sure whether the translation is accurate. Here is google’s translation:
We have received your e-mail with your vouchers.
Disciplinary authorities with complaints of lawyers who should have acted in contravention of the Code of Conduct or otherwise in violation of Court Act or other law, as well complain that a lawyer has demanded too high fees, see Attorney Regulations § 5-3 and Processing Rules Bar Association disciplinary board.
Disciplinary authorities are primarily lawyer's conduct in relation to the lawyer's ethical rules and only to a limited extent, decide, and if necessary overrule, the quality of the advice the lawyer gives the opportunity the treatment of specific cases. For the lawyer's professional execution of the order shall be deemed a breach of Code of Conduct, it must be clear errors or omissions from the lawyer's side. A general quality assessment of lawyers' work and academic performance of the contract falls basically outside the complaints procedure.
Complaints against lawyers who are members of the Bar Association, dealt with by the Bar Association's disciplinary board in the first instance. In these appeals is the Disciplinary Committee appeal. In complaints against lawyers who are not members of the Bar Association, the committee's first and only resort, unless the prosecutor agrees that the Bar Association's regional committee shall consider the matter.
Judge Nina Opsahl is a practicing attorney and your inquiry will be to archive the disciplinary authorities can not resolve your complaint.
The following paragraph is unclear from the translation: “Judge Nina Opsahl is a practicing attorney and your inquiry will be to archive the disciplinary authorities can not resolve your complaint.”
Are you stating that:
1. The matter is under investigation by the Disciplinary committee and my complaint is to be archived IF the disciplinary authorities can not resolve my complaint, or
2. The Disciplinary Committee has made a decision on the complaint, that the disciplinary committee can not resolve my complaint, and that my complaint is being archived?
Sincerely,
Lara Johnstone

Lara Johnstone.
It appears to be an spelling error in the translation from google.
Judge Nina Opsahl is not a practicing attorney and therefore your complaint can`t be treated by the disciplinary authorities.
I hope this answers your question.

Beate Sundstrøm:
Thank you for that clarification of ‘lost in translation’. ;-)
It would appear that you are saying that individuals who work for the State as prosecutors, court administrators and judges, practicing law in the same courts of law that ‘practicing attorneys’ practice are not to be held to the same standards of conduct and code of ethics as ‘practicing attorneys’?
Please could you inform me where I can find the code of ethics for ‘Prosecutors, court administrators and Judges’ (“State legal practioners”), as well as the disciplinary committee that holds these ‘State Legal Practioners’ accountable?
Sincerely,
Lara Johnstone

Lara Johnstone.
To complaint on a judge, you must address it to the Tilsynsutvalget for dommere, (Supervisory Committee for Judges) as that the correct body.
