Fastställelse

Fastställelse is a Swedish legal term that translates to "confirmation" or "approval" in English. It refers to the act of officially verifying and endorsing a document, decision, or statement, making it legally binding or authoritative. This process ensures that the item in question meets certain requirements and is considered valid within a legal or administrative context.

The specific nature of fastställelse can vary depending on the situation. For instance, it can apply to the confirmation of a will by a court, the approval of a company's financial statements by its shareholders, or the formal acceptance of a legal judgment. The core idea is that a designated authority or process validates the legitimacy and correctness of something.

In many cases, fastställelse involves a review to ensure compliance with relevant laws and regulations. Once fastställelse has been granted, the item typically carries significant legal weight. This can mean that it can be enforced, relied upon as evidence, or serves as the basis for further legal actions. The concept is fundamental to ensuring order and certainty in legal and administrative processes.
