Upphävs

Upphävs is a Swedish verb, the passive present tense form of the verb "upphäva". It translates to "is repealed", "is annulled", "is revoked", or "is abolished" in English. The word signifies the act of canceling or making something void, often referring to laws, regulations, decisions, or agreements.

When something is upphävd, it means that its legal force or validity has been terminated. For example, a law might be upphävd by a new piece of legislation, meaning the old law is no longer in effect. Similarly, a decision made by an authority could be upphävd if it is found to be unlawful or incorrect. The concept of "upphävs" is crucial in legal and administrative contexts, ensuring that rules and decisions can be changed or invalidated when necessary.

The opposite of "upphävs" would be actions that establish, enact, or maintain something. The passive voice indicates that the subject of the sentence is the recipient of the action of being repealed, rather than the one performing the action. Understanding "upphävs" is key to comprehending discussions about legal changes and the cancellation of previous rulings or statutes in Swedish.
