Prosessdeltakere

Prosessdeltakere refers to individuals or entities involved in a legal proceeding or administrative process. These participants play distinct roles, each with their own rights and responsibilities. The most common prosessdeltakere include the parties initiating the action, known as the saksøker (plaintiff) in civil cases or anklager (prosecutor) in criminal cases, and the party against whom the action is brought, referred to as the saksøkte (defendant) or tiltalte (accused).

Beyond the primary parties, other prosessdeltakere may emerge. Witnesses are individuals who provide testimony regarding facts relevant to the case. Their role is to present factual information based on their personal knowledge. Experts can also be called upon to offer specialized knowledge or opinions that assist the court or decision-making body in understanding complex issues. Lawyers, acting as representanter for the parties, are crucial prosessdeltakere, advocating for their clients' interests and navigating the legal procedures. The court itself, or the administrative body overseeing the process, serves as the adjudicator, ensuring fairness and applying the relevant laws. In some cases, third parties may intervene or be joined to the process if their rights or interests are directly affected. The specific types and roles of prosessdeltakere can vary depending on the jurisdiction and the nature of the proceedings.
