klageren

In Norwegian legal contexts, "klageren" refers to the complainant or appellant. This is the party who initiates a formal complaint or appeals a decision made by a lower authority or court. The klageren is the individual or entity seeking a review or reversal of a previous ruling.

The role of the klageren is central to the appellate process. They must present arguments and evidence to support their claim that the original decision was incorrect or unjust. This typically involves submitting a written appeal detailing the grounds for dissatisfaction and outlining the desired outcome. The opposing party, often referred to as the "innklagede," will then have an opportunity to respond to the klageren's arguments.

In administrative law, a klageren might appeal a decision from a government agency, such as a denial of benefits or a permit. In criminal proceedings, a klageren could be the prosecutor appealing a sentence they deem too lenient, or in some jurisdictions, a victim who appeals a decision not to prosecute. The specific procedures and rights associated with being a klageren vary depending on the jurisdiction and the nature of the case. The ultimate goal for the klageren is to persuade the higher authority or court to alter the original decision in their favor.
