Council on Legislation (Sweden)
- Council on Legislation (Sweden)
-
The Council on Legislation (Swedish: Lagrådet) is a Swedish governmental agency composed of current and former members of the Supreme Court and Supreme Administrative Court. Its function is to pronounce on the legal validity of legislative proposals at the request of the Government or a parliamentary standing committee. The Council's pronouncements are not binding on the political branch but are usually adhered to. The Government is not obligated to allow the Council to review legislation but has to provide a rationale in parliament if it neglects to do so.
Using legal terminology, the Legislative Council carries out judicial preview or alternatively abstract legal review.
