applicable legislation

Hjemmelslov is not a real Norwegian word. At least I could not find it in any of my 10 dictionaries or on official Norwegian web dictionaries.

I qoute from the Norwegian Public Administration Act:
En forskrift kan ikke fravikes av et forvaltningsorgan, med mindre forskriften eller vedkommende hjemmelslov gir adgang til det.
An administrative agency may not depart from regulations unless authorized to do so by the regulations themselves or the enabling statute...
Peer comment(s):

agree lingo_montreal : From 1995 official Terminologi for Politiet: "med hjemmel i loven - authorised/ warranted by law/ laid down in law".

except that hjemmelslovene is a noun substantive. "hjemmel i lov..." is a phrase.

Insolvency Act

probably the same in Norwegian as in Danish, i.e., Danish translates to Insolvency Act, ref. juridisk ordbog
Peer comment(s):

disagree jeffrey engberg : "The Bankruptcy or Insolvency Act" in Norway is called konkursloven.

disagree lingo_montreal : The term has to do with authorized or applicable/authorized laws/legislation, and is not the name of any particular act or law.

governing law

This is just an educated guess based on the mid-level Danish I know. Norwegian and Danish are similar only up to a certain point:

On violation of these regulations or decisions made pursuant to it, (pertinent) provisions for punishment and other responses (foreseen) in the governing law apply.
