COURT OF APPEAL’S DECISION

DECISION OF THE COURT OF APPEAL IN CASE NO. 5868-24
2024-10-09

CORRECTION REGARDING THE COURT OF APPEAL’S DECISION

New information has emerged indicating that GGN 2.0 has not become legally binding as of October 9, 2024. The case can be appealed to a third court (the Supreme Administrative Court) within 3 weeks from October 9, 2024.

GGN 2.0 will legally proceed as planned since the decision from the County Administrative Board, with case number 4506-2023, allows the competition to be conducted without the decision becoming legally binding.

The misunderstanding occurred because Nordic Sport & Event (the undersigned), in discussions with an officer at the Court of Appeal, inquired about the possibility of a dispensation to use two- and four-wheelers and loaders if the case was delayed. The answer I received was that the case would be processed quickly, and I assumed that the case would have become legally binding as of October 9, 2024, when the decision was made. In my excitement and belief that GGN 2.0 had finally become legally binding at all levels, I unfortunately missed the fine print.

Of course, we should have read through the entire decision and then seen that it could be appealed once more to a third court. In conversations with the County Administrative Board today, this has also come as a total surprise to them.

After both the Administrative Court and the Court of Appeal (two courts) ruled that the appellants would not be granted leave to appeal, we assumed the case was closed and had thus become legally binding.
