To outsiders in America and beyond, big-state libertarianism can be puzzling. To Swedes there is no contradiction: they just want to be left alone, and to do it together economist.com/europe/2026/08…

Sweden has no constitutional court. What it has is a duty in regeringsformen for courts not to apply laws that conflict with higher norms.
When the legislative process erodes, that duty becomes more visible and more demanding. Judges will need to be prepared to find, and to state, that a given application of a law cannot be reconciled with the constitution.
The citizenship reform belongs in this picture.

Interesting flag and discussion by @GrahamButler1 - re enforcement under Brussels Ia of judgments in default.
The Supreme Court of Denmark 🇩🇰⚖️ has declared that a 'judgment by default' issued by a Swedish district court (Helsingborgs tingsrätt) 🇸🇪⚖️ is unenforceable in Denmark under the Brussels I bis Regulation ⛔

In this blog post I discuss last week's Opinion of AG Collins in Commission v Malta (citizenship by investment). AG Collins proposes that the case against Malta should be dismissed. I argue that his arguments and conclusion are convincing and should be followed by the CJEU

The three most important judicial challenges to how EU institutions (not MS) deal with the rule of law have all been ruled inadmissible (the Sharpston and Mendes de Almeida cases and now this). There’s at least a perception risk of a pattern being developed.
#EUGeneralCourt dismisses as inadmissible the actions brought by organisations of European judges against the @EUCouncil decision approving the recovery and resilience plan for #Poland #RuleOfLaw 👉 curia.europa.eu/jcms/jcms/Jo…

In LIEI 50(4), @GrahamButler1 examines a specific aspect of EU sanctions: the extension of restrictive measures applied to individuals to their family members. The lack of clear standards for these sanctions poses challenges for their legal assessment. kluwerlawonline.com/journala…
