Rättsinstanserna

Rättsinstanserna comprise the various bodies within a legal system responsible for interpreting and applying laws. In Sweden, for example, the primary legal institutions are courts and administrative authorities. The court system is divided into general courts, which handle criminal and civil cases, and administrative courts, which deal with disputes between individuals and public authorities. The general courts include the district courts (tingsrätter), courts of appeal (hovrätter), and the Supreme Court (Högsta domstolen). Administrative courts include the administrative courts (förvaltningsrätter), administrative courts of appeal (kammarrätter), and the Supreme Administrative Court (Högsta förvaltningsdomstolen).

These institutions play a crucial role in upholding the rule of law by ensuring that legal disputes are resolved fairly and consistently. They provide a forum for individuals and organizations to seek redress for grievances, and their decisions contribute to the development of legal precedent. The structure and functions of rättsinstanserna vary between different legal systems, but their fundamental purpose remains the same: to administer justice.
