On Tuesday, the Court sent a letter to the parties stating that the case has been extended to also include Article 28 on the free movement of persons and Article 31 on the right of free establishment.

– This is an extension of the case, when the Oslo District Court only asked about Article 36, free movement of services, writes lawyer Nicolay Skarning at the law firm Simonsen, Vogt og Wiig in an email to NTB.

He represents the staffing agencies that have sued the state.

– An extension of the hiring case in the EFTA court increases the possibility of more relevant answers back to the Oslo district court, which is important for staffing companies, says Skarning.

• Norway complained to the Council of Europe about organizational coercion in the use of temporary workers

The background to the dispute is the changes in the law which remove the possibility for companies to use subcontracting when the work is of a temporary nature. In addition, a total ban was introduced against the use of subletting in the construction industry in Oslo, Viken and the former Vestfold county.

The staffing agencies demand around NOK 40 million in compensation.
