Norwegian term or phrase: odelsloven
Daværende mat- og landbruksminister Lars Sponheim lanserte avskaffelse av odelsloven som et virkemiddel i arbeidet med å få motiverte og dyktige ungdommer inn i landbruksnæringen.

It occurs in a research article regarding agricultural recruitment.

The dictionary suggests 'Allodial Rights Act'?

agree  jeffrey engberg: I tend to use this term as well. Maybe freeholder rights act would also work. See this link for an interesting discussion on allodialism: http://www.thesocialleader.com/2010/12/allodial-rights-unali...
