About the workplace

Svea Court of Appeal is the country's largest court of appeal with approximately 480 employees. The court's premises are beautifully located on Riddarholmen in central Stockholm.

The court's main task is to review cases and matters appealed from the district courts within its jurisdiction. The Court of Appeal also serves as the sole and final instance for decisions from all of the country's rent tribunals. The court consists of nine judicial divisions, of which seven are general divisions handling criminal and civil cases, and two special divisions. One of the special divisions is Division 2, where the Patent and Market Court of Appeal is also established as a specialized court. In addition to the Patent and Market Court of Appeal's legal areas, Division 2 is particularly focused on rental law, arbitration law, and particularly extensive dispositive civil cases. The division also handles general dispositive civil cases and so-called other cases.
