The problem surrounding the hall of the two large gardens in Stor-Elvdal does not go away. Since 2019, the gardens Gammelstu Stai and Seljordet have changed owners twice. Now Anbjør Svenkerud wants to go to court to get the family gardens worth over 80 million back. It is because of a seat she was not allowed to keep. But a lawyer believes that it was a chance to bet on getting a divorce from Setra. GARDEN: Gammelstu Stai is located in Stor-Elvdal in Inlandet. It was in the family of Anbjør Svenkerud for several generations. It has now changed owners twice since 2019. Photo: Geir Olav Slåen Meiner the purchase is invalid The property of over 60,000 acres was in the Svenkerud family for almost 500 years and through 13 generations. She chose to sell it because of her health. But she had expected to keep the chair, something the municipality said no to. Therefore, she believes that the entire purchase from four years ago is invalid. It was Brøttum Almenning that bought the gardens together in 2019. But things did not go as planned for the public. Neither Stor-Elvdal municipality, the State Administrator nor the Directorate of Agriculture gave them a licence. Thus, they sold the farms on. It was the married couple Hildegunn and Jens Naas-Bibow who bought it for NOK 88 million. But now, four years after Anbjør Svenkerud sold the family gardens to Brøttum Almenning, she wants to go to court. That time she made it a condition that she was allowed to keep the setra belonging to the one farm; Seldomed farm. GENEALOGY: Anbjør Svenkerud’s family has run Gammelstu Stai for many generations. Now she wants to raise the saddle and have it back. Photo: Geir Olav Slåen They wrote this about in the contract when they carried out the hall. But when she applied to separate the setra from Seljordet gard, she was refused by the municipality. Since Seljord’s seat was not part of the hall, and the seat cannot be separated from Seljord’s yard, Svenkerud and the lawyer believe that the hall is not valid. Gammelstu Stai Gården in Imsroa in Stor-Elvdal has been in the same family for almost 500 years and through 13 generations. It consists of several buildings, large agricultural areas and even larger forest areas. In total, it is 61,780 acres. In addition to the farmhouses, the sale includes a newer barn, a seat, accommodation, storehouse, butchery and hunting cabins, among other things. – She has not sold Seljord seats. It was held outside the hall when she sold this property mass. She has not had it distributed. Then the question is whether she should let them have everything together without paying for it, or whether she should take it back. That’s what her lawyer, Joakim Stensland, says. They are filing a lawsuit to cancel the entire purchase. It was Østlendingen who wrote about this first. A chance to take Einar Bergsholm is a lecturer in legal subjects at Norway’s University of Environmental and Biosciences (NMBU). There are several municipalities that have strict rules about separating seats from yards. He therefore believes that it was a chance to take to bet that this would go well. – It varies from municipality to municipality and the political composition of the municipal council whether the distribution is approved. There are government guidelines that make it easier than before, but in any case the greatest emphasis must be placed on municipal self-government in such matters, he says. He says it will be the purchase contract that will be decisive in this case, because whether Svenkerud has the right to raise the entire purchase of over 80 million. – If there is a delay in the salary agreement, which both parties agreed to. Where it is stated that distribution is a prerequisite for the entire hall agreement. Then the seller can demand the gards back and cancel the sale, says Bergsholm. CHANCE: Einar Bergsholm, associate professor at Norway’s University of Environmental and Biosciences (NMBU) says that if the contract is clear about the backlog of setra, there is a chance of canceling the purchase. Photo: Håkon Sparre / NMBU Svenkerud and lawyer, Joakim Stensland, think it is obvious that the salary agreement does not apply, since she has not been allowed to settle. When the State Administrator and the Directorate of Agriculture have said no to distribution, then it is final. But according to Einar Bergsholm at NMBU, it is possible that one can get either the return of the farm or compensation in this case. – But one possibility is that the new owner applies for distribution of the center when the political composition of the municipal council is different, he says. Takes lawsuits calmly Since Svenkerud sold to the Brøttum public, they are the ones who receive notices of lawsuits. They take it all in stride. – We are not concerned about that lawsuit, but do not want to comment on the case further, says Jan Tore Hemma, director of Brøttum public. From there, the judge must consider whether the contract should be voided or not. – It is a question of having to fulfill the agreement that has been entered into. Then one has to take the next question afterwards, how this should be run if it goes back to Anbjør. One of Henna’s sons has agreed to do so, says the lawyer. Brøttum Almenning sold the properties last year to Hildegunn and Jens Naas-Bibow. But according to Anbjør Svenkerud, the new owners do not have this central conflict. – We have never paid for Seljordsetra, but we own the utility number that the three seat buildings are on, says Jens Naas-Bibow. He adds that they have no interest in having a seat and do not need it in their operations. But he believes that the price Svenkerud will have for Setra is too high. – We answer all inquiries and have met with Svenkerud and her lawyer. There is no basis for an amicable agreement as the expected price for Seljord seats is far from what a normal buyer would pay. – We are taking the announced lawsuit against the Brøttum community very calmly and are waiting for the outcome of the process, says Naas-Bibow.
