Uppsatsen utreder plenumbestämmelsens tillämpningsproblem inom straffrätten och hur förutsebarheten för den enskilde påverkas av att plenumbestämmelsen lyser med sin frånvaro. Prejudikaträtten är inte absolut i Sverige. Men detta innebär inte att ändringar av prejudikat ska ske med lätthet, utan en strävan att upprätthålla förutsebarheten för den enskilde är viktig. Med anledning av detta finnerThe essay examines the absence of the application by the Supreme Court of plenary sessions, which is necessary for establishment of precedent in the Swedish legal system, within the penal law and how the predictability in individual cases thus suffers. The precedence principal is not consistently adhered to by the Swedish legal system. This does not suggest that changes of precedent should be ma

Sammanfattning Alternativa tvistlösningsmetoder eller Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) är på frammarsch såväl globalt som nationellt. Efter att under en termin vid Köpenhamns universitet kommit i kontakt med medling som tvistlösningsmetod, väcktes ett än större intresse för dessa alternativa sätt att lösa konflikter på. Jag ställde mig även då frågande till vad framgången för ADR kunde komma Summary Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) is progressing both globally as well as nationally. After my semester at the University of Copenhagen my interest in ADR in general and in mediation in particular, was awakened and strengthen. I wondered, what impact the increasing use of ADR might have on the Civil Procedure in general and in what regard it might affect the functions of the Civil Proc

Film represents, and since representation is of importance when acquiring knowledge and a continuous changing medium, it must be scrutinised continuously. In this thesis, contemporary Swedish mainstream cinema (2000-2010) has been examined for its repre

I medierna förekommer ofta beskrivningar av utländska arbetstagare som blir utnyttjade av sina arbetsgivare på ett graverande sätt. Exempel på detta har varit de thailändska bärplockarna i Norrland och den kinesiska kock i Malmö som tvingades arbeta fram till att han kollapsade. Eftersom tvångsarbete är ett dolt fenomen utgör dessa fall förmodigen toppen på ett isberg. Tvångsarbete är inte explicThere are often articles in Swedish newspapers describing situations were foreign workers have been exploited by their employers. Well known examples are the Thai berry pickers in Norrland and the Chinese cook in Malmö that was forced to work until he collapsed.
