  "account": "Jøran Kallmyr, a former Justice Minister for the Progress Party and former advisor to Oslo, is challenging the city over a 121-meter-long beachfront stretch in Bygdøy. After a long political career, Kallmyr now acts as a partner attorney at Ræder Bing, representing several homeowners along the sought-after stretch of beach in an expropriation case against Oslo municipality.\n\nIn 2023, the municipality decided to force Kallmyr's clients to give up parts of their property to build the long-planned coastal promenade along their properties. However, expropriating homes in one of Norway's most expensive neighborhoods is not cheap, says Kallmyr. \"We haven't given specific figures to the municipality yet, so I won't give an exact sum right now... But we're going to demand at least 50 million in compensation,\" he asserts.\n\nKallmyr points out that six private homes will be traversed by the promenade. He explains that he represents two of the six homes, owned jointly by five parties. His demand of 50 million applies to all the homes combined, he clarifies. A rival party, Ingeborg Tennes from the right, estimates the total cost of the promenade to be 100 million and wishes to undermine it. Left-wing coalition partner Haakon Riekels, however, disagrees and calls the estimate a wild guess.\n\nOslo's environmental agency has yet to estimate a price for the promenade. Yet, when Kallmyr concludes his appearance in court, he predicts that both the left and the right will join the Høyre party in making the project so expensive that politicians will think twice before setting the first nail. \"It's okay to turn around a bit,\" he says, reminding politicians of the fjellvettregler (mountain regulations) and their importance in politics. He emphasizes that it is either he or the municipality, but the law, that determines the final compensation amount. \"I'm here to make it as high as possible. This is simple and good money they can spend on something else if they prioritize,\" he stresses.\n\nKallmyr emphasizes that it is either him or the municipality, but ultimately the law that decides the final compensation amount. \"I'm here to make it as high as possible. We believe we have a strong legal basis for this. We bring in expert reports, cost valuations, and similar evidence to present to the court as proof of the compensation demand,\" he says. \"So, 50 million? Will a judge agree to this?\" Kallmyr asks rhetorically. \"We have solid factual evidence for this. We present expert reports, cost valuations, and similar documents as proof to the court. We have solid evidence for 50 million plus,\" he insists.",
