The highest level of law is the Constitution of 17 May 1814. Statutes made under the Constitution are subordinate to it. Regulations made under such a statute are subordinate to such law.
Norwegian law, as well as the other Scandinavian legal systems, differ from their civil law continental counterparts by assigning a very high value on jurisprudence. Especially in private law, large parts of legal development are left to the Supreme Court. As an example, areas such ordinary contract law are scarcely legislated by the Storting. Norwegian law, unlike many other civil law systems, are not codified in systematic codes. Although an attempt at codification was in the works from 1953 to 1999, the project was subsequently disbanded. [2]
