Leave to Appeal in the Land and Environment Court of Appeal

According to Swedish legal practice, appealable judgements or decisions may be appealed by the person whom the judgement or decision concerns, if the ruling has gone against them.

Shore Protection and Proportionality

The principle of proportionality is a central part of legal practice and means that there must be a reasonable balance between the public interest and the individual's interest. Within the area of shore protection, this means that restrictions on the individual's right to use their land must be proportionate to the purpose of shore protection.

Understanding and applying the principle of proportionality within shore protection areas requires a careful balancing of different interests. We help you make this assessment and argue for the individual's rights in relation to the public interest in shore protection.

Organisations' Standing in Shore Protection Matters

Standing for organisations in shore protection matters is a fundamental aspect of legal certainty. It gives organisations the opportunity to appeal exemption decisions that they consider to be incorrect. According to Swedish legal practice, appealable judgements or decisions may be appealed by the party that has been negatively affected. Organisations have in certain cases been granted standing in shore protection matters, based on their environmental protection interest and commitment to public access to shore areas.

We help you ensure that the organisation's standing is handled correctly and efficiently.

According to the Environmental Code, shore protection exemption can be granted if there are special reasons that justify an exception from the shore protection provisions. These special reasons can vary, but it is always a balancing of different interests where each case is assessed individually.
