The Swedish school system is becoming more and more segregated and unequal. This development is, if not caused by, at least aggravated by ’the free school choice’.

Då gåvobeskattning har avskaffats får gränsdragningen mellan gåva och inkomst större betydelse. Enligt 8 kap. 2 § inkomstskattelagen (1999:1229) är en gåva skattefri, medan inkomst är skattepliktig enligt 11 kap. 1 §. Distinktionen mellan gåva och inkomst blir relevant när en anställd förvärvar aktier utan ersättning från arbetsgivare eller ägare till bolaget. Här måste fastställas om överlåtelsenSince the gift tax was removed, the distinction between gifts and income has gained greater importance.

Den som har ett rättsligt anspråk gentemot någon annan kan väcka talan i domstol för att låta anspråket komma under rättslig prövning. Rätten till domstolsprövning garanteras genom artikel 6(1) EKMR.

Tillgång till information är av avgörande betydelse för en parts möjlighet att tillvarata sin rätt i en domstolstvist. Informationsanskaffningen inför en tvist är i huvudsak utomprocessuell och förutsätter frivillig medverkan från informationsinnehavaren. Rättegångsbalkens regler om editionsplikt möjliggör emellertid i viss mån även informationsanskaffning med domstolens hjälp. Syftet med denna Access to information is crucial for a party’s ability to exercise its rights in a litigation. The gathering of information in the event of a legal dispute is mainly done out of court and requires that the holder of information contributes voluntarily. However, Chapter 38 of the Swedish Code of Judicial Procedure (SCJP) supports, to some extent, gathering of information with the assistance of the

Syftet med denna uppsats har varit att undersöka hur arbetskostnad har reglerats i RUT- och ROT-avdragen (gemensamt kallat husavdragen), vilka förändringar som skett, vad som orsakat dessa och vad som kan hända i framtiden på området. Husavdragen ger en reduktion av skattebördan på köparen och en utbetalning från Skatteverket till utföraren vid vissa arbeten som utförs i anknytning till köparens bThe aim of this report has been to examine how work-cost has been regulated in the RUT- and ROT-deductions (called the house reductions together), what changes have been made, what has caused these and what can happen in this area in the future.

Inom begreppet fri bevisprövning rymmer två grundläggande principer i svensk bevisrätt. Den ena principen kallas fri bevisföring och innebär att parterna i huvudregel är fria att lägga fram vilken bevisning som helst. Den andra principen kallas fri bevisvärdering och innebär att domstolen är fri att avgöra vilket bevisvärde ett visst bevis har för utgången i målet. Rätten till en försvarare är saUnder Swedish law, there are two general principles regarding the admissibility of evidence. The first principle entitles the parties to present any relevant evidence to the case. The second principle entitles the court to determine the significance of the evidence for the outcome of the case. However, the right under Article 6 § 3 (c) ECHR of everyone charged with a criminal offence to be effect
