Bus/Financial - Accounting / Audit
Norwegian term or phrase: ta kort med
I am not too sure what this expression means in this context. The full sentence reads, "Vi *tar også kort med* lovens § 56 om betalingsinnstilling", og oppnevnelse av en "tilsynsnemnd".

This is from an audit.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Explanation:
Well, either they include the text from the law, or they don't. Maybe not the best way of expressing oneself in the source.
