överklagade

Överklagade is a Swedish verb form meaning that a party has appealed a decision to a higher authority. The infinitive is överklaga, and överklagade is the simple past tense, used to describe actions such as “de överklagade beslutet.” It can also function as part of a noun phrase, for example “överkklagade beslut” referring to decisions that have been appealed.

In Swedish administrative and judicial practice, many kinds of decisions can be appealed. This includes decisions made by public authorities, municipal bodies, and certain court decisions. The right and procedure to appeal are governed by specific laws and deadlines, which vary by case type. A common requirement is that the appeal be submitted within a fixed timeframe, often a few weeks, to the authority that issued the decision or to a designated higher instance.

The appeal process typically involves submitting grounds for the challenge, the facts and legal arguments, and any supporting documentation. The higher authority or court then reviews whether the original decision should be upheld, amended, or overturned. Depending on the case, the outcome can be a rebalance of the decision, a remand for further consideration, or a complete reversal.

Common areas where decisions are appealed include taxation, social benefits, migration and residence permits, planning and zoning, and various licensing decisions. The terminology for the action is øverklagande in its noun form and överklaga as the verb, with överklade used to indicate that the appeal has already been made.
