The law firm Schjødt AS, today submitted a complaint to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) in Strasbourg on behalf of eight persons residing in Norway. The case concerns the forced introduction of new electricity meters that cause many people health problems.

We in the action group “We take the AMS meters to court!” would like to thank the approximately 2000 helpers who have contributed since 2018 with small and large sums to make the legal cases we have conducted about the AMS meters and harmful effects possible.
With the appeal to the ECHR, we have reached a milestone, but we are not at the end of the road: If the appeal is allowed for consideration, we will face an exciting and yet another challenging period!
This following press release has today been sent out to the news agencies and a large number of Norwegian newspapers:
FROM THE ACTION GROUP – “We take the AMS meters to court!”
(AMS=Smartmeters)
PRESS RELEASE
THE ELECTRICITY METERS ARE APPEALED TO THE HUMAN RIGHTS COURT
The law firm Schjødt AS, today submitted a complaint to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) in Strasbourg on behalf of eight persons residing in Norway. The case concerns the forced introduction of new electricity meters.
The eight claim that those who are electrosensitive, experience significant health problems from the meters, and that the meters exacerbate other health problems they already have.
Their complaint is the first Norwegian complaint to the ECHR about human rights related to electromagnetic radiation and biological harmful effects.
The eight had lost in the district court against the grid company Elvia, both lost and won in the Court of Appeal, and had their appeal to the Supreme Court rejected. The eight argue in the complaint that the Norwegian court has not made any genuine assessment of the – crux of the case – which is whether the complainants’ objections to the AMS meters are “manifestly unfounded”, but have unilaterally based their position on the authorities. The complainants have thus been subjected to refusal of justice, which is a human rights violation.
The petitioners also allege that the current limit values are inadequate and set contrary to current established medical and biological knowledge, and that exemption from installation has been prevented by the authorities. Thus, according to the complaint to the ECHR, several paragraphs of the European Convention on Human Rights have been violated and the precautionary principle violated.
A number of cases have been brought before Norwegian law concerning the smart meters, partly based on health problems, partly on the basis of privacy, public safety, fire risk and energy policy.
The work to bring forward a pilot case on the health side, which has now become a complaint to the ECHR, began in 2018. The legal fees have been financed through small and large contributions from around 2,000 people and organised by the action group “We take the AMS meters to court!,” led by Einar Flydal, retired researcher and strategy advisor at Telenor ASA and respectively. univ.lektor II at NTNU. The complainants’ lawyer is Hugo P. Matre, Advokatfirmaet Schjødt AS.

Background material for the editorial staff
New and more biologically challenging technologies are constantly being developed. Exposure to electromagnetic fields in the microwave region – measured in intensity in typical urban spaces – has increased by a staggering 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 times since the early 1950s. The limit values are based solely on the average intensity to which one is exposed, because it can create a risk of heating (as in a microwave oven). But research shows that this is not enough, as there are several other properties of radiation that cause biological damage even when the average intensity is very weak:
The health problems have followed the digital AMS meters since the beginning – worldwide – , despite the fact that the intensity is on average very weak. Research has long shown that this radiation — in the form of extra-low-frequency (ELF) digital and with very sharp, strong and sustained pulses — is particularly harmful. But research has not previously been as solid as it is now. There is now conclusive evidence that the risk of adverse effects is real and substantial, and is distributed over a number of mechanisms, with oxidative stress being a particularly clear and well-proven mechanism over more than 60 years.
This view is shared by a great many researchers and is evident from the statistics, which show that the vast majority of research articles find harmful effects from exposure far weaker than today’s limit values, and especially when the radiation contains ELF pulses. ELF pulses are also created by modern electronics and are spread in the electric field around the house’s wires as “harmonious”, i.e. overtones we know from sound frequencies. Much of this takes place outside the frequencies regulated by technical standards.
The technical and biological mechanisms are such that all biology will be affected in its basic functions, which may be able to compensate for the exposure over a long period of time, before, any health failure occurs, especially, where this burden is a contributing or is a dominant cause. In addition, an estimated 5% of the population is extra wary of such exposure and suffers acute health problems (electrical hypersensitivity). The symptoms can be very different and diffused due to many factors. Typical acute effects include sleep problems, headache, tinnitus, fatigue, vision problems, leg cramps, brain fog, irritation, inflammation.
Along the way, the academic community that this campaign has created, produced and disseminated thousands of pages of Norwegian (well known) scientific literature on the effects of artificially created electromagnetic radiation on health and the environment, and has translated a number of research articles on the subject. Available on http://einarflydal.com.
There is also a form and process description designed pursuant to the Court of Appeal’s Judgment 2022 for how medical certificates and applications for exemption from AMS meters’ transmitters and from dirty electricity should be written to warrant exemption.
