Nordmøre District Court (Norwegian: Nordmøre tingrett) is a district court located in the town of Kristiansund in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. The court serves the northern part of the county which includes the municipalities of Kristiansund, Aure, Averøy, Eide, Gjemnes, Halsa, Smøla, Sunndal, Surnadal and Tingvoll . The court is subordinate to the Frostating Court of Appeal. This court employs a chief judge, three other judges, and eight prosecutors.[1]

The court is a court of first instance. Its judicial duties are mainly to settle criminal cases and to resolve civil litigation as well as bankruptcy. The administration and registration tasks of the court include death registration, issuing certain certificates, performing duties of a notary public, and officiating civil wedding ceremonies. Cases from this court are heard by a combination of professional judges and lay judges. Cases from this district court may be appealed to the Frostating Court of Appeal.[2]

History

On 1 January 1991, the old Kristiansund court (which served only the town of Kristiansund) was merged with the Nordmøre District Court (which served the surrounding region).[3]
