Remissärende

Remissärende is a term used in certain contexts, often in administrative or legal settings, to refer to a matter or case that has been lodged or submitted for consideration or resolution. It implies that a document, request, or issue has been formally placed within a system or process for handling. The word itself originates from Swedish, where "remiss" refers to a referral or a referral case, and "ärende" means matter or case.

When a remissärende is initiated, it typically involves sending a document or a set of documents to a specific authority, committee, or individual for their review, opinion, or decision. This process is common in governmental bodies, where proposals or reports are often sent for comment to relevant agencies or stakeholders. In a legal context, it might refer to a case being sent from one court or tribunal to another, or a request for expert opinion that is referred to a specialist.

The purpose of a remissärende is to gather input, expertise, or a formal decision on a particular subject. It ensures that all relevant parties are consulted and that a thorough examination of the issue takes place before a final resolution is reached. The outcome of a remissärende can vary, ranging from a simple acknowledgment to a detailed report with recommendations or a definitive ruling. The exact nature and procedure of a remissärende depend heavily on the specific jurisdiction or organization employing the term.
