The tragic diving accident in Bjørvika, Oslo, which left former MMA fighter Geir Kåre Nyland paralyzed, is set to be reviewed by Norway's Supreme Court.

Nyland, who became paralyzed from the waist down after hitting a submerged concrete element during a dive in 2021, successfully sued Oslo municipality for inadequate signage in both the district and appeals courts.

Despite these victories, Oslo municipality has appealed to the Supreme Court, arguing that the case raises important questions about municipal liability for safety measures at public swimming areas.

Nyland's lawyer, Christian Lundin, expressed disappointment over the Supreme Court's decision to hear the appeal, emphasizing the emotional toll on Nyland.

The case highlights ongoing concerns about safety at popular swimming spots in Oslo, with previous incidents prompting calls for improved safety measures.

A documentary chronicling Nyland's journey and legal battle is set to premiere on TV 2 in March.
