Nordic influences on Swedish construction law - an example on the value of comparing standard contracts

Utterström, Marcus LU (2024) Applied Comparative Law in the Temporary Legal Context
Abstract
This article investigates the dependence on standard contracts in Swedish construction law, particularly AB 04 and ABT 06, due to a lack of specialized laws. Comparing them to similar contracts from other Nordic countries demonstrates the value of cross-border legal understanding. A 2018 Swedish Supreme Court judgment highlights this technique, implying that comparative analysis might improve legal clarity and predictability in construction law throughout the Nordic area.
