Administrative law in Gothenburg

Private individuals and entrepreneurs alike will inevitably, at some point, come into contact with an administrative decision. Administrative decisions are made by state or municipal administrative authorities. The most common administrative decisions come from bodies such as the County Administrative Board, the municipality or the Swedish Social Insurance Agency (Försäkringskassan).

An administrative decision is often based on a complex set of rules. The decision itself often involves significant values — for both businesses and private individuals.

Examples of administrative law and administrative decisions

Among the administrative-law problems that can arise, the following are the most common:

Incorrect administrative decisions: A large share of the administrative decisions that affect you can, as a rule, be appealed to a court if you are not satisfied. It can be difficult, as an individual, to know how to go about obtaining a correct and well-founded decision from an authority. You may be considering appealing a decision you believe to be wrong. You are welcome to contact Eyer Juridik for advice on how to proceed, or if you want a knowledgeable lawyer in Gothenburg in this area.

Incorrect handling of a matter: It can also happen that you, as an individual or as an entrepreneur, are treated incorrectly by a public authority. Authorities often hold significant power. The rules ensuring that anyone subject to the exercise of public authority is treated in a fair, equal and legally certain way are therefore very important. General administrative law accordingly regulates, among other things, how different authorities are to handle and process matters involving both individuals and businesses. Always remember that you have the right to legal assistance in the matter. Contact Eyer Juridik for advice if you believe you have been treated incorrectly.
