History

In the Middle Ages, the old Eidsivating was a thing for Eastern Norway. The Eidsivating was the court system used for centuries in Norway. In 1797, the court system was changed and the old things were dissolved. In 1890, the court system was changed again to the modern version. A new Eidsivating Court of Appeal was established on 1 January 1890, but it only lasted for two years. In 1892, it was merged into the Eidsiva- og Frostating Court of Appeal. Then on 1 July 1936, a new Eidsivating Court of Appeal was established for most of Eastern Norway. On 1 January 1995, the Eidsivating Court of Appeal was divided. The southwestern part of the old court's jurisdictional area became the new Borgarting Court of Appeal and the northeastern part retained the old Eidsivating Court of Appeal name. On 26 April 2021, the Storting approved moving the areas of eastern Viken county from the Borgarting court to the Eidsivating court. [4] [5] [6] [7]
