dommere appear to be attempting to refuse to provide me with a Case Number, in their attempts to obstruct my complaint from the public record.

signed “Skjema for klage på dommere til Tilsynsutvalget for dommere (TU)” forms for her complaints. On 02 July 2012 I noted: “I am still waiting for the Secretariat of the Supervisory Committee for Judges, to provide me with a Case and/or Reference Number for my complaint/s, including details about processing of my complaint/s in Norway v. Breivik matter against respectively: (1) Judge Nina Opsahl, (2) Judge Wenche Arntzen & (3) Chief Justice Tore Schei.” On 04 July 2012 I filed a complaint to the Parliamentary Ombudsman on this matter. On 11 July 2012 Parliamentary Ombudsman responded – Case 2012 – 1943 – as follows: Therefore, you should give a written request to Tilsynsutvalget for dommere, where you call for answer to your applications.

On 31 July 2012, Supv.

On 01 August 2012, I responded3 to Supv. Comm. for Judges / Tilsynsutvalget for dommere: I am a little unclear as to a few issues in your correspondence: 1. Committee does not Acknowledge Receipt of Complaints I am confused: Is the Committee deliberately or negligently ignorant that it's behaviour contradicts its alleged goals of encouraging confidence in the courts?[1]. If the Committee is unable to identify very basic common sense unethical conduct in its own procedures (namely to professionally acknowledge receipt of any complaint to inform a complainant of the complaints procedures); is such behaviour not conducive to undermining confidence in the Committee's work; and consequently in the broader role of the court system? 2.

But the parties are entitled to make verbal statements to the Supervisory Committee, unless the Committee should consider this as obviously unnecessary to the elucidation of the case.
