About proceedings

The Supreme Court’s most important task is to give, via specific cases, rulings that provide guidance (precedents). For the court to accept a case, leave to appeal is, as a rule, required. The Supreme Court also decides issues regarding new trials, grave procedural errors and various other matters.
