Fokus ligger på att undersöka de osäkerhetsmoment som uppstår för parterna i en transaktionsprocess genom den nya bredare tillämpningen av artikeln.

Under utvecklingen av läkemedel måste läkemedelsföretagen bära stora finan-siella kostnader. För att kompensera för dessa kostnader är patenträtten avgö-rande för branschen. Emellertid har det visat sig att det ordinära patentet på 20 år inte är ett tillräckligt skydd för kompensationen. Med anledning av de hårda krav som finns på läkemedelsbranschen i form av kliniska tester och i sin tur fördröjDuring the development of medical products, pharmaceutical companies must bear large financial costs. To compensate for these costs, patent law is crucial for the industry. However, it has been shown that the ordinary patent of 20 years is not sufficient for the compensation. Due to the tough requirements such as clinical tests and, in turn, delayed processing times for the patent ap-plication, it

I juni 2022 röstades ett lagförslag igenom i riksdagen vilket resulterade i att det kostnadsbaserade avdraget för resor till och från arbetet (arbetsresor) ändrades om i grunden till att vara en färdmedelsneutral och avståndsbaserad skattereduktion.

Enligt den svenska rättsordningen kan hemliga tvångsmedel användas av de brottsbekämpande myndigheterna i såväl brottsutredande som brottsförebyggande syfte. Med begreppet preventiva tvångsmedel avses vidare de tvångsåtgärder som vidtas i de brottsbekämpande myndigheternas underrättelseverksamhet, innan en förundersökning har inletts och då en konkret och individualiserad brottsmisstanke ännu inteAccording to the Swedish legal system, secret coercive measures can be used by law enforcement authorities for both crime investigation and crime prevention purposes. Furthermore, the term preventive coercive measures refers to those coercive measures taken outside a preliminary investigation in the intelligence activities of law enforcement authorities.

Till följd av principen om allas likhet inför lagen riskerar vårdpersonal allmänt åtal för misstag som föranlett att en allvarlig vårdskada har inträf-fat. Även om antalet rättsfall inte är många syftar denna uppsats till att under-söka det straffrättsliga ansvar som föreligger för enskild vårdpersonal för misstag som sker i yrkesutövningen. Särskilt undersöks de faktorer som kan vara av betydelsDue to the principle of equality before the law health care practitioners’ risk being subjected to public prosecution in general court because of a mistake made in their work.

To bring your case in front of a court – “Access to Justice” – is something most of us look upon as a human right for the citizens in a state governed by law. But to process in court demands time, knowledge and not least money. To facilitate “Access to Court” there is a possibility for litigants in Sweden to apply for legal aid. The government then (partly) finances the legal help one can be l

Att föräldraskap ska kunna förenas med förvärvsarbete är en uttalad ambition både från den svenska lagstiftaren och från EU. I svensk rätt finns regler som syftar till att möjliggöra detta i diskrimineringslagen i form av regler om aktiva åtgärder, det vill säga arbetsgivarens förebyggande och främjande arbete, och i föräldraledighetslagen. Samtidigt präglas arbetsrätten av arbetsgivarens rätt attThe possibility for workers to be able to balance and combine parenthood with employment is an expressed ambition from both the Swedish legislator and from the EU. In Swedish law, there are rules that aim to enable this in the Discrimination Act in form of rules and active measures, i.e., the employer’s preventative and promoted work, as well as in the Parental Leave Act. At the same time, labour

Climate change is a global issue and a serious threat to the world we live in. The consequences of climate change are devastating. Despite the overwhelming scientific consensus on climate change, studies have shown that politicians and voters of far-right parties are particularly likely to dismiss climate change. People who in various ways go against the research and large amounts of scientific ev

This thesis seeks to add data and clarification about fires in corners and along walls. T

The Scandinavian countries have neither been a focus area in terrorism nor intelligence studies, even though the Scandinavian intelligence agencies perceive the terrorist threats as rather present in their countries.

Pre-electoral coalitions affect the involved parties in a unique and yet a quite undiscovered way. The largest and most successful pre-electoral coalition in Sweden was called the Alliance and was created prior to the 2006 parliament election.. Although pre-electoral coalitions are heavily underrepresented in coalition studies, there are existing hypotheses about the connection between parties ent

This thesis is a theory-testing case study where I, by conducting a

The European Union (EU) has long suffered from a democratic deficit, something that has been highlighted many times by politicians, media and citizens alike. The EU has in turn tried to better its democratic standing by increasing the power of the European Parliament (EP) through the Treaty of Lisbon in 2009. This has however not increased turnout in the EP elections substantially, as only the lat

This thesis is a descriptive case study of the institutional measures to improve women’s representation in Chile between 2015 and 2022. Women in Chile have historically been underrepresented because of two institutions introduced by former dictator Pinochet: the 1980 constitution and the binomial electoral system. In 2015, Chile reformed its electoral system to replace the binomial system with a
