“Judge leaked the judgment before it was delivered – avoid the prosecution”
“One of the country’s highest judge has done something so strange as to leak a judgment that was not yet notified.”
“the Behavior is not only illegal. It is something of a cardinal sin in the judiciary.”
“But it also has this strange story, revealed by the site the Current Law in a week, has become a hot topic of dignity among judges.”
“the Judge is a justice of the supreme court at the Highest förvaltningstomstolen, in the past, the supreme administrative court, the highest instance among the general administrative courts.”
“Its main task is to create a precedent, especially tax law and social security and the Supreme administrative court are at the same level in the judicial hierarchy to the Supreme court.”
“in other words It is not anyone that the attorney-general in a recent decision judge has committed a criminal offence in the service.”
the “Sent e-mail to friend”
“After the hearing of a case if the tax was over sent supreme court justice an email with a draft of the judgment to a good friend who is skattejurist.”
“She had a different opinion than the majority of the judges in the case and wanted to know how your friend’s death. Of the hearing that the Current Law included some of the shows that supreme court justice was prepared to change his dissenting opinion, partly could think of to argue for a modification of the judgment if your friend had a few comments of critical importance.”
“the Verdict that was announced a couple of weeks later, was identical with the draft.”
“Deleted conversation”
“To the then head of the Supreme administrative court, Mats Melin, notified the judge when he heard of the misery is not sensational. The reasoning of a judgment covered by qualified confidentiality, and may not come out before it is communicated.”
“Of mejlkonversationen with her friend stated that the supreme court justice knew that she was out on the slippery ice. She fears that there will be resurrection of her leaking come out. She says that she will delete the e-mail, which she also makes. But they succeeded in the court service’s it department to re-create.”
“Overly worried seems she is not, however, have been. So here ends one of the e-mails: “
“the attorney general Mari Hedenborg has decided on åtalsunderlåtelse. There is a provision that prosecutors can use and that means that a person is deemed to have committed the crime, but none of the punishment.”
“It is possible to argue that there is a public interest in a so rough be blamed lead to prosecution, but the data has got very small distribution and has not been given to someone who has a vested interest in the case.”
“And the fact that a judge of this dignity is deemed to have committed a criminal offence in the service is a penalty which is likely to sting. In such a decision is serious criticism.”
“There are several reasons why judges may not behave in this way. A judgment which is not delivered is not definitive and if the parties involved gets wind of the content, they can start to take action that leads to that they end up in a worse seat if changes occur. In addition, can try to impact of the right place.”
“But this is not only a question of law. It is more a question of ethics.”
“If I spread the information concerning the identity and a source of novelty is the commit I a crime that should be punished. But what is worse than the legal illegitimacy is the moral violation. I have, at the risk of sounding solemn, violated the trust that journalism is ultimately founded on.”
“the Same thing applies to judges. The basis for their independence and integrity is based on that they are unswervingly on the secrecy of upcoming judgments.”
“It is bad enough if a juror is running around and babbling. Such has amatördomare, this constant source of headaches, unfortunately indulged in. “
“But a proffsdomare, in addition, the top of the hierarchy? Justitierådets leakage is damaging the confidence in the judiciary.”
