The primary role of an utredningsman is to gather facts, analyze evidence, interview relevant parties, and ultimately produce a report detailing their findings and conclusions. The appointment of an utredningsman often signifies a need for an objective and impartial examination of a situation that requires specialized knowledge or a dedicated focus.
