I will regularly and irregularly update this page with any, in my view, important events in the case.
On March 21st 2024, I received a letter from Hanne Sine Andresen's lawyer. The headline of the letter was quite dramatic, “Demand for cessation of unlawful statements”. The letter claimed, among other things, that in my blog (these pages - separate comment) a number of untrue allegations are made about Andresen, her business and the operation of the condominium. It is also claimed that statements are being made that constitute a criminal offense.
The letter goes on to say that Hanne Sine Andresen perceives my approach, and the accusations I make according to the letter, as very unpleasant and offensive. And that both the lack of rational justification, and the form and content of the statements in general constitute a violation of the rules that apply to statements in the public domain.
The following claim is also made in the letter: “Furthermore, Andresen has several times during the process called for a more constructive dialog in almost all points of dispute between the parties. However, Johansen has not been willing to engage in such a constructive dialog."
When I read the sentence above, I almost fell off the couch I was sitting on. Eh, what dialog? Do they mean the “dialog” where Hanne Sine Andresen tells us how things should be and/or be done? Or maybe the “dialog” where Hanne Sine Andresen just “does”, without either asking or telling in advance? Around that time, I stopped taking this letter seriously.
Reference is also made to section 3-6 a first paragraph, first and second sentences of the Norwegian Damages Act (PS: The Damages Act is currently not available in English), with the implication that I should be held liable in damages for my allegedly unlawful statements. The letter further demands that the content and the domain be deleted and that the alleged defamation cease with immediate effect, at the latest within 14 days from the date of the letter. If I comply and the statements are removed immediately, Hanne Sine Andresen will not pursue legal claims.
Not only will I be deprived of “my” access road, but I will also be threatened into silence!
Did it work then? If you can read this, the answer to that question is probably self-evident. 😀
On April 17th 2024, I again received the same letter as above, this time sent by another lawyer. Hanne Sine Andresen is obviously a lady with a lot of resources and many lawyers. The demand is the same, I will again be threatened into silence!
It didn't work this time either! 😀
