100,000 applications for conciliation proceedings in 1995

The decline in the number of applications filed with Norwegian courts of conciliation since 1988 looks like it has stabilized. In 1995 there were 101,000 cases. Nearly nine out of 10 cases were resolved without the parties meeting, often with a judgment by default.

Conciliation boards handled 101,000 disputes last year. This is about the same level as in previous recent years, but is far less than at the end of the 1980s. In the postwar period, the number of cases increased without interruption, particularly in the early 1980s, when the number of disputes peaked in 1988 with 323,000 cases. Since then, the number has plummeted, dropping to 96,000 in 1994.
