3.2. Court jurisdiction and the Lugano Convention
The general Norwegian rule on court jurisdiction is that disputes on international matters may only be brought before a Norwegian court if the facts of the case have a sufficiently strong connection to Norway (Civil Procedure Act Section 4-3). However, in practice the competence of the Norwegian court will be decided according to the Lugano Convention. (1) See e.g. Backer, Norsk sivilprosess (2015) p. 152.
