Norwegian text of former § 2 (1927-1999)

§ 2. I arvefølgen i stamhuset Jarlsberg gjøres den innskrenkning at stamhuset kun skal arves av mannlige agnatiske medlemmer av den nuværende norske linje av slekten Wedel Jarlsberg. Er ingen sådan arving til, tilfaller stamhuset det norske Universitetet som fri eiendom på nærmere vilkår som Kongen bestemmer.

Explanations

The reference "the Norwegian University" in the former § 2 (1927-1999) should be read as "the University of Oslo".

It should be noted that the translation of the Act is unofficial only.

The reader is encouraged to read the Government bill (Odelsting proposition) concerning changes to the Act (Ot.prp.nr. 34 (1998-1999), only in Norwegian) as well as the Storting Committee of Justice's report on the same (Innst.O.nr.60 (1998-1999)).
