In Norway, impeachment, also known as the Court of Impeachment[1][2] (Norwegian: Riksrett), is a judicial process with the power to convict Members of Parliament, Members of the Council of State, and Supreme Court Justices for criminal acts performed in line of duty.
[3][dubious – discuss] After the constitutional battle of 1884 was over, there was only one case, where Prime Minister Abraham Berge and six members of his cabinet were found not guilty in 1927.
[3] Public commissions have since looked at reforming or removing impeachment, and transferring the institution to the ordinary courts.
Current members of parliament are not eligible to serve, as they are presumed to have a conflict of interest in the matter.
The responsibility to act as prosecutor is held by the parliament, and is to be administrated by a parliamentary committee, Stortingets ansvarskommisjon.
