In what is known as the billionaires’ cottage paradise, Blindleia in Sørlandet, an inflamed sibling quarrel takes place out of the ordinary.
According to a recent ruling from Agder District Court, a brother (61) and sister (67) strongly disagree about almost everything imaginable on an idyllic beach property. They have inherited it from their grandparents.
Agderposten discussed the matter first.

Idyll
The magnificent property is idyllically located by the beach, but only the brother’s part of the property has access to the sea.

In his time, he bought the property on odel. However, the grandparents allowed the big sister to build a cabin in the middle of the property, back in 1979. What was actually agreed at the time is the core of the dispute.
Since the sister received permission to build in the middle of the property 42 years ago, a number of agreements have been made. Also oral, she claims.

Disagreements
There must have been disagreements between the siblings for a while – which have not been known. The legal conflict arose when the sister in the autumn of 2020 discovered that the parking lot she had used for a number of years had been destroyed, as a result of a treatment plant her brother had built, it is stated in the judgment.
Then she contacted a lawyer and went to court.
In this connection, the disputes about rights related to clean drinking water, logging, the sister’s use of boathouses and beaches located on the brother’s property were also made known.
In addition, there are disagreements about the use of the pier, the boat mooring and an outdoor staircase down to the sea she has built from her part of the property.

Many requirements
When the siblings met earlier this year in Agder District Court with their own lawyer, the sister had a total of 17 claims against her brother. Little brother, on the other hand, had 25 claims back against his sister.
The result was a very comprehensive judgment of 37 pages. Both parties won on key points.

The sister is entitled to two parking spaces on the brother’s property, but the brother can decide where these should be. However, the sister’s cabin guests have to park somewhere else, and she cannot have a boat trailer standing there either.
According to Agder District Court, the sister has no right to use the boat pier and the boat house, but she can travel on the beach.
She also has four weeks to unpack the boathouse and remove the stairs that go from her cabin down to the water.
But the flower bed she planted down by the water, which her brother would have removed, Agder District Court believes can stand.

– To be considered carefully
As no one has fully won, the parties must cover their own legal expenses. Oslo Børs has been in contact with the lawyers in the case.
– We believe that my client has been upheld on the most important points in the district court. Beyond that, we have no comment, says the brother’s lawyer, Roar Solberg-Jacobsen to Børsen.
He adds that the verdict is not yet final.
The sister’s lawyer, Marte Risøy, states the following in an e-mail to Børsen:
– We register that the judge has landed on an intermediate solution. Both parties have reason to be both satisfied and dissatisfied. The verdict is long and we will spend the summer assessing it carefully, Risøy says.
