revurdert

Revurdert is a Norwegian term used in administrative and legal contexts to describe a decision that has been reassessed. The form is the past participle of revurdere, and it signals that an official ruling has undergone a new evaluation, typically because of new information, changed circumstances, or updates to applicable laws or regulations.

Revurdering can be initiated by the agency itself or at the request of the affected party, such as a recipient of benefits, a taxpayer, or an asylum seeker. Common reasons include the receipt of new evidence, discovery of errors in the original decision, or changes in rules that affect the outcome. The process generally involves reviewing the original decision, considering the new information, and potentially issuing a revised determination of rights, obligations, or benefits.

Time limits and procedural rules for revurdering vary by sector and agency, but there is usually a formal requirement to submit a request or proposal for reconsideration within a specified period. The outcome of a revurdering can be an upheld decision, an amended decision, or, in some cases, a reversal of the original ruling. In some situations, changes may be retroactive, while in others they apply only to future effects.

Revurdering is part of the broader framework for ensuring accuracy and fairness in public administration. It is often related to, but distinct from, external appeals or klage processes. While revurdering may resolve disputes internally, unresolved cases can still progress to higher authorities through formal appeal mechanisms.
