By a narrow majority (6 to 5), the Supreme Court concluded that neither the population of the municipality of Karasjok as a whole, nor the Sámi part of it, have property rights to outlying fields in the municipality, as the landownership belongs to the Finnmark Estate (Finnmarkseiendommen/FeFo). The Supreme Court thus set aside the Finnmark Land Tribunal’s judgment, in which the conclusion was that the population’s property rights were established through immemorial usage. In this paper, I discuss the significance of this Grand Chamber judgment for the upcoming legal survey, including which scenarios can be expected.
