Swedish law

Statute text you can navigate rather than dump. Chapters and sections come back one at a time, so a long act does not have to be loaded whole to answer a question about one paragraph.

What it is

The Riksdag publishes Swedish legislation and its preparatory works as open data. This integration reads it and adds structural navigation: it knows where an act’s chapters and sections begin, so it can hand back the specific provision and its surroundings instead of the entire statute.

Preparatory works — government bills, SOU inquiries, ministry memoranda and committee directives — are covered alongside the statutes themselves, which is what makes a question about legislative intent answerable.

Use it for

• “Show chapter 3 of the Planning and Building Act (2010:900), section by section.”
• “What does the current wording of this section say, and when was it last amended?”
• “Find the government bill behind this amendment and summarise the reasoning.”
• “Which other provisions does this section refer to?”
• “Is there case law connected to this provision?”

Limitations

• Sweden only, and only what the Riksdag publishes.
• Not legal advice. The integration returns the text and the reference. Applying a provision to a set of facts is a lawyer’s judgement, and an assistant’s summary of a provision is not the provision.
• Original versus consolidated text are different things. A statute as enacted and the same statute as currently in force can differ substantially; ask for the one you mean.
• Preparatory works explain intent, not current law. A bill from before an amendment may describe a rule that has since changed.
