"Will the Norwegian court see through the 'change' better ploy? ".
Lets hope so.
But they might not. The Borg has been tenacious at mitigating governments & officials. By redactions in literature & manipulating statements.
That is why we need all those removed shunning videos like Sonya Ericsson to be revealed & distributed by those who have retained them.
That shunning is in fact,, what the Borg does.

If the Norwegian Government does not want to be made to look like suckers by the JW Borg, they should insist that the Governing Body issue a letter to all congregations that the former "thinking" of shunning of anyone who no longer associates with them has been reviewed - based on Scriptural guidance:
"Dear Brothers, regarding former members of the congregation who were removed due to their unrepentant behaviour or those who left of their own volition, (1 John 2:19) we used to think that such ones should be ignored in all situations by means of shunning. We now believe that the principle of Jesus' words at Matthew 18:17 - "If he does not listen even to the congregation, let him be to you just as a man of the nations and as a tax collector," should be applied, namely, that socially associating with such ones should be avoided, while normal, necessary interactions should continue. First century Jews & Christians would have understood this reasoning."

I heard that the Borg has requested the Norwegian government to respond to them by the 14th of November
Lets not be hasty now
No pressure right?!?

Why November the 14th? Is there some financial deadline that the WT is working towards? Perhaps part of the tax/payout cycle?
Boogerman, great suggestions on your part. 👍👌🙏

Are they willing to change their doctrine, dogma, and policies to get free cash?

Earnest : It could be genuine as these errors are not impossible but I think unlikely.
I have now received a copy of the letter from the Norwegian Ministry of Children and Families and can confirm it is genuine.

Vanderhoven;
They have to ' change ' something about their stance & policies.
They have to ""seem" like a gentler, kinder & nicer religion in order to receive government subsidies.
