- Socialising rental housing would require proven necessity after investments and housing-construction support had been exhausted.

- Donald Trump filed an emergency injunction to recover $5.6 million paid to E. Jean Carroll following a court order.
- A federal jury found Trump liable for sexually abusing and defaming Carroll in the mid-1990s.
- The Supreme Court denied Trump's petition in June 2026, allowing Carroll to collect the damages awarded.
- Carroll’s legal team called Trump’s request procedurally improper and a tactic to delay payment.

- Marius Borg Høiby was sentenced to four years in prison, with the verdict not yet legally binding.
- He was convicted for two of four rape charges and ordered to pay approximately €58,000 in damages.

- The appeal process might begin in 2027, and a decision on the release request is expected soon.
