Seems to be District Court. Seems to be somewhat similar to Finnish system. Where district court basically deliver most random and weird decisions. Then they generally get appealed to court of appeals. Which is more logical place. Likely this will be overturned there. And then end in supreme court...

It was Oslo Tingrett, This is the lowest level ordinary court (there are 23 of them), above is the Lagmannsrett (6 of them) with handles appeals from the Tingrett. Above the Lagmannsrett is the Høyesterett (High Court) which again handles appeals from lower courts. As far as I know cases cannot be brought directly in the high court but must progress through the lower courts first.

Both tingrett and lagmannsrett are district courts in the sense that the cover specific geographical areas (kretser, circuits).
