Abstract:

The right of access to documents is constitutionally based in Sweden and has a long history. The right of access is considered crucial to Swedish democracy. On entering the EU in 1995, Sweden declared that public access to official records forms part of Sweden’s constitutional, political and cultural heritage. The members of the EU for their part declared that they took it for granted that Sweden would fully comply with Community, now Union, law with respect to openness and transparency. Sweden continues to push for transparency when EU legislation potentially containing secrecy clauses is negotiated in the EU. It turns out, however, that the EU membership does pose challenges to the strong Swedish right of access to documents. The protection of personal data is controversial in Sweden to the extent that the stricter EU legislation clashes with the traditionally weak protection of privacy in Swedish law; the right of access to information has largely overridden the right to privacy. Large amounts of publicly available personal data, amassed in data bases by private actors, for commercial reasons but under the protection of the Swedish constitution, is causing problems especially since the Swedish constitutional law is considered, by Sweden, to precede EU legislation in the field. Sweden will somehow have to solve the dilemmas caused by the differing traditions of transparency between itself and other members of the EU and of other international organizations. Many answers – perhaps converging - will be provided in 2016 by Swedish official inquiries and the EU Regulation.Article first published online: 22 MARCH 2016

Abstract:

AbstractThis article explores the past and current role of dissemination in Sweden of international humanitarian law (IHL) – focusing on the Geneva Conventions and their Additional Protocols. Key questions are who the relevant actors in need of knowledge in IHL today are, and why dissemination still is important for Sweden, despite the end of the Cold War threat. The authors of this article argue that Sweden today lacks a thoroughlythought-out and modern approach to questions relating to dissemination, and that negligence in properly addressing and understanding the role of dissemination could lead to a weakening of Sweden's position as an adamant adherent and advocate of IHL. Today's complex world, with its diversified threats to national and international peace and security, calls for a revised and articulated position on dissemination of IHL.

Abstract:

In the Kingdom of Sweden is now binding Anglo-Saxon model of Chamber of Commerce, whose main feature is voluntary membership to the Chambers of Commerce. Chambers are basing on private law, not public law like in the Continental model. First Chamber of Commerce in Sweden was founded in 1902 in Stockholm. In 1915 Chambers of Commerce were functioning in the whole area of Sweden. Nowadays there are 11 Chambers of Commerce and 35 foreign chambers in Sweden.

Abstract:

Purpose This paper aims to trace parallels in the unintended consequences of interpretations of special-needs law in Ireland and Sweden. Design/methodology/approach The paper is conceptual, based on Irish and Swedish legal reports, studies and national planning documents on supports for people with disabilities. It begins by discussing unintended consequences, and then analyses the Irish court decision in Sinnott v. Minister for Education (2001), which stated that the State’s obligation to provide for education for people with special education needs (SENs) ceases when they reach 18 years. It considers how economic considerations influenced that decision. The focus then diverts to Sweden’s human rights culture and the 1994 legislation, LSS (Sweden’s Act Concerning Support and Services for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments), which enshrines equality and support for people with disabilities, including personal assistance (PA). Cost-saving restrictions on PA allowances are discussed. Findings While the Irish State enacted a law on education rights following the Sinnott case the Education for Persons with Special Educational Needs Act (2004), or EPSEN (2004), it restricts those rights, and sections remain uncommenced. The case may have exhausted litigation as a remedy for people with SENs. In Sweden, austerity diluted the impact of LSS, leading to reduced entitlements and intrusions on privacy. It allowed legal discourse to dominate discussion. Families were negatively affected. In both countries, human rights may have suffered. Identifying which consequences of the legal actions were unintended, and which party did not intend them, can be problematic. Practical implications The paper concludes that the courts limited entitlement to the detriment of people with disabilities, and that caution must be exercised in having recourse to law courts in settling entitlements. Originality/value The paper is an original analysis of unintended consequences of legal interventions in special-needs policy. It illustrates difficulties in matching visions and systemic requirements in legal and the educational domains.

Abstract:

The article reveals the views on war and peace of the famous Russian diplomat of the first third of the XVIII century P.P. Shafirov. The main idea of Shafirov’s most important work — the “A discourse concerning the just causes of the war between Sweden and Russia” was a justification for the justice and legality of the conflict with Sweden. At the same time, the “A discourse concerning the just causes of the war between Sweden and Russia” should be considered as one of the first domestic works on international law, which examined many aspects of the humanization of war (the attitude of the military towards prisoners of war and the civilian population). Shafirov emphasized the forced nature of the Great Northern War for Russia, and also noted Peter I’s sincere desire for peace and Sweden’s unwillingness to end the conflict.

Abstract:

AbstractThe principle of proportionality constitutes a complex principle that could be seen as the keystone of the general principles of Community law and ECHR. The aim of this article is to demonstrate the influence of European Community (EC) law and the European Convention of Human Rights (ECHR) on the definition and application of the principle of proportionality in Swedish public law from 1996 to 2006. The Supreme Administrative Court has given some indications as to the application of the principle of proportionality, notably as to the importance of the balancing of interests. Interestingly, this Court has also been proactive as to the application of the principle of proportionality in internal law, e.g. concerning environmental law, tax law, administrative licenses. Moreover, the principle has influenced national legislation in many fields. It is argued, finally, that these jurisprudential and legislative developments increase the judicial protection of the individual and also modifies the structure of traditional judicial review by attributing a new role to Swedish national courts.

Abstract:

The article discloses the criminal liability for the abandonment in danger in countries of American and English law system and also the analysis of objective and subjective signs of the composition of abandonment in danger. A comparative analysis of the criminal responsibility and punishment for abandonment in danger in countries which belong to Mixed law family (Denmark, Sweden) and Far Eastern law family (Japan, South Korea). The object of abandonment in danger in countries which belong to Mixed law family (Denmark, Sweden) and Far Eastern law family (Japan, South Korea) is the person’s life and health, while in Ukraine one of the objects is only human life. In Sweden, abandonment in danger if it is committed intentionally, and in Denmark, Japan, South Korea it will be a crime if is committed inadvertently. In this regard, there are differences in the punishment appointment for abandonment in danger. In countries which belong to Mixed law family (Denmark, Sweden) and Far Eastern law family (Japan, South Korea), the object is human life and health, and in Ukraine only human life. Since abandonment in danger is a crime against human’s life and health, and it can cause health damage in the form of bodily harm, borrowing the foreign experience in the scope of abandonment in danger is necessary for Ukraine.

Abstract:

Over the past 70 years, Sweden has implemented a series of proactive legal reforms aimed at eliminating the corporal punishment of children in homes, schools and institutions. The most recent of these reforms took place in 1979 when Sweden became the first nation to explicitly abolish corporal punishment. The primary purposes of the ban were to recognize and affirm children's rights to security of the person and to inform the public and professionals that corporal punishment is neither socially acceptable nor legally defensible. It was expected that, over time, parents would demonstrate decreasing support for this practice and decreasing use of it. Ultimately, it was expected that the ban, and the legal reforms that led up to it, would contribute to lower levels of parental violence toward children. In the present article, evidence from a variety of sources is examined to assess trends in child physical abuse in Sweden over time. It is concluded that acts of violence against children have declined dramatically in Sweden over recent decades corporal punishment is infrequent, serious assaults are uncommon, and child abuse fatalities are extremely rare. Implications of legal reform for the well-being of children are discussed.

This article begins with an overview of the structure of local governance in Sweden. It then examines the division of competences between municipalities and county councils, and the population register that determines the applicable law. Following this, the article focuses on health care schemes and the possibility for the competent county council to determine substantive health care. The municipalities’ responsibility for long term social care is then considered. Finally, the municipalities’ room for manoeuvre in relation to the social assistance scheme is reviewed. The concluding section discusses Sweden’s decentralised approach to social security.

Abstract:

The Swedish school system was radically reformed in the 1990s, and went from one of the world’s most uniform and egalitarian, to one of the world’s most deregulated and marketized. In recent years, the political controversy has heated over the for-profit corporations that operate independent schools and allegedly make major profits off the public purse. A majority of independent schools in Sweden are operated by limited liability companies, but hundreds of schools are also operated by non-profit foundations and associations. The latter category are of interest in this article. With the help of a thorough legal historical analysis of the corporate law on associations in Sweden, and how the two forms of associations – economic associations and non-profit associations – are defined in the law, we discuss how well the law matches the purposes and needs of elementary schools in Sweden. The article concludes that the ambiguities and confusion around the law on economic associations in this specific case, and the essential lack of legislation for nonprofit associations, warrants a fundamental questioning of whether it is at all appropriate for independent schools in Sweden to be operated by economic and nonprofit associations.

Abstract:

This article describes the regulation of fixed-term work and its most recent developments in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden. Regulations are analyzed against the background of the Fixed-term Work Directive 1999/70/EC. Legal developments of employment protection and the scope of fixed-term work are supposed to interrelate. Norway has the lowest incidence of fixed-term work (9 per cent in 2000) followed by (neglecting Denmark with 10.2 per cent in 1999) Sweden and then Finland (13.9 per cent and 18.2 per cent in 1999, respectively). This reflects the relative differences regarding the legal scope for fixed-term work. Denmark represents a legal system without any statutory restrictions on the use of fixed-term work. In Finland the legitimate scope for fixed-term contracts is restricted to those cases in which there are justifiable reasons. In Sweden legislation forms a rather intricate pattern of restrictions in the form of requirements on justifying reasons for and/or maximum duration of such contracts. Norway has the most strict statutory framework. The approach thus varies a great deal. The Danish solution — because of lower barriers in between the different modes of employment — is claimed to be closer to the equal treatment approach than Norwegian and Swedish law (as it stands) and is in this sense closer to the Fixed-term Work Directive.

Abstract:

In Sweden, landfills are excavated on a relatively modest scale (mainly for the purpose of decontamination, to increase landfill capacity or to free up land for other uses). Lately however, aspirations for excavations aimed at recovering energy and materials have increased and an important goal according to the Mineral Strategy of Sweden is to increase the recycling rate of metals and minerals and reduce the amount of waste. The incidence of certain (critical) metals and minerals, including REE and phosphorus, is moreover assumed to be relatively large in Swedish landfills, and the interest in excavating landfills is therefore expected to increase. The legal situation as regards excavation of landfills in general and of mining waste in particular, is however unclear, not least regarding permit requirement according to the Swedish Environmental Code. Even though landfill recycling may entail numerous negative environmental effects, e.g., acidic and metallic leachate, release of gases, and destabilization of land the regulation of the activity is not clear. The aim of this paper is to describe and problematize the legal situation as regards landfill excavation in Sweden against the backdrop of, on the one hand, a potential increase in the demand for recycled metals and minerals, and on the other hand comprehensive requirements for a non-toxic and healthy environment.

Abstract:

The article explores the statistical association between annual alcohol consumption and homicide mortality in Finland, Sweden and Norway from the early 19th century to 2013. The results show statistically significant impacts on overall and male homicide mortality in Finland and on male homicide mortality in Sweden. In Norway, we found no significant impacts. The results suggest that changes in the level of alcohol consumption have had a stronger impact on homicide rates in Finland, characterized by a heavier drinking culture, than in Norway or Sweden. The strength of the association between alcohol consumption and homicide levels seems also to vary over time and to be conditioned by economic and socio-political factors.

Abstract The Indigenous Sami people traditionally live in what is now Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Russia. A crucial matter for Indigenous peoples, including the Sami living in Sweden, is that of the recognition of their land rights and access to their traditional lands. This article’s aim is to present and analyse recent case law developments in Sweden that relate to the recognition and protection of Sami land rights, specifically the Girjas and Talma cases, through legal-scientific and textual analyses and relevant legal literature. Both cases concern Sami reindeer herding rights in Sweden and the Swedish state as defendant. These cases raise complex legal issues and historical circumstances, demonstrating the need for the Swedish state to treat Sami land rights as equal to other civil rights in Swedish society, in line with international human rights law.

Abstract:

Sweden is an EU Member State that has had a history of strict regulation relating to the sale and purchase of alcoholic goods. Most notably, it has long had in place a state monopoly which has possessed the exclusive right to engage in the retail sale of certain alcoholic goods within the state. This article analyses the contemporary legal issues arising in regard to Sweden and national measures relating to private imports, retail sale, exclusive rights, and state monopolies. It emphasizes a number of developments. First, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) has changed its course when assessing the lawfulness of national measures relating to state monopolies. Second, the CJEU has ruled that the private import of alcoholic goods into Sweden from other EU Member States is lawful, permissible, and compatible with EU law. Third, the article argues that changes to national law that allow for domestically produced alcoholic goods to be sold outside the state monopoly, farm sales (gårdsförsäljning), would be discriminatory, and incompatible with EU law. Furthermore, and as a result, Systembolaget could no longer be a monopoly. The articles concludes by offering views on the future of alcohol regulation in Sweden, in light of the applicable considerations deriving from EU law.

Full text

Abstract:

This article deals with the impact of the EC Directive on Consumer Sales on Swedish Law. The two major areas discussed are time-limits and guarantees. The Directive does not influence Swedish Law a great deal, since both the Directive and Swedish Sales Law have been strongly inspired by the CISG. Concerning some details the law will become clearer and more understandable to the consumer. On the other hand the Directive has unfortunately seemingly delayed reform in several fields, notable in the area of guarantees and also a proposal to prolong the time-limit for the consumer's legal rights due to a lack of conformity in the goods from two to five years was postponed indefinitely. The Swedish legislator will present a proposal with amendments to the Consumer Sales Law at the beginning of 2001, where these reforms now hopefully can be adopted.

Abstract:

The article examines the power of administrative bodies to assess the constitutionality of legislation (‘administrative constitutional review’), taking examples from Swedish public law. The Swedish constitution explicitly requires all public bodies to engage in administrative constitutional review when necessary. In this way, Swedish administrative authorities have the right and duty to act as guardians of the rule of law. This competence relates to the historical development of Swedish public law, which deviates from most other European constitutional systems by organizing all state administrative authorities as separate public organs detached from the Government and the ministries. The Swedish constitutional obligation is parallel to EU law requirements on national administrative organs to set aside national legislation in conflict with directly applicable EU law (‘the Costanzo obligation’). Against the background of practical examples in Swedish law, the article identifies theoretical and practical challenges for administrative bodies to engage in constitutional review. These include the risk of disturbing constitutional structures by putting lower administrative authorities on par with the parliament. The possible problems of lack of legal expertise and the problem of independence in practice are also discussed. At the same time, the concept of administrative constitutional review has a potential to protect the constitutional system, including the fundamental rights of individuals. administrative constitutional review, separation of powers, rule of law, administrative independence, Swedish administrative model, Costanzo

Abstract:

The early Russian literature on international law was largely produced by diplomatic practitioners in the course of, or in supplementation of, their official duties. The most celebrated example, regarded as the first original Russian work on international law in the Russian language, is P. P. Shafirov's discourse on the just causes of the war between Sweden and Russia, Razsuzhdenie kakie zakonnye prichiny ego Tsarskoe velichestvo Petr Pervym…k nachatiiu voiny protiv Korolia Karola 12, Shvedskogo 1700 godu imel… (Spb., 1717). Translated into English and German, the Tsar intended that all Europe should understand Russia's legal pretensions against Charles XII of Sweden through Shafirov's book and himself edited the final text and contributed the conclusion. At Imperial behest two further Russian editions were printed in 1719 and 1722 in thousands of copies.

Abstract:

In the classical monetary debates, the Banking School held that notes would be equally demand-elastic whether supplied by many issuers or a single one. The Free Banking School held that notes would be less demand-elastic if supplied by a single issuer. These assertions have rarely, if ever, been subject to more stringent statistical testing. In this study the elastic properties of the note stock of the Swedish note banking system in 1880–95 is compared with those of the regime in 1904–13, when the Bank of Sweden held a note monopoly. Evidence suggests that notes did not become less elastic after monopolisation, thus lending support to the views of the Banking School.

This paper will present the background to the proposed reform of Danish company law and provide an overview.
