et seq./and (the) following
Explanation:
"flg" = følgende, when placed after a cited authority. The English legalese equivalent (from Latin) is "et seq." for "et sequentes"/"et sequentiae" and means "and (the) following." It's typically used to indicate the cited authority and the chapters/sections/paragraphs/pages that follow it.

If used in front of the cited authority, e.g., "i flg Forvaltningslovens § 13", it would stand for "i følge" and mean "according to" or "in accordance with."
