Abstract
The main purpose of the paper is to explore the legislation and debate on commercial courts in Sweden from the late 19th century to the end of the 20th century. The focus is also on the law from 1905, on special composition in commercial cases at the courts in Stockholm, Malmö and Gothenburg. This law is the most recent one Sweden has had in the area of commercial courts. The paper examines how this law came about and why it was abolished, and what alternatives were given after its removal. The discussion about the introduction of commercial courts was initiated in response to protracted litigation of commercial cases that now caused both economic damage to the business community but also to the judicial confidence and authority from...

The main purpose of the paper is to explore the legislation and debate on commercial courts in Sweden from the late 19th century to the end of the 20th century. The focus is also on the law from 1905, on special composition in commercial cases at the courts in Stockholm, Malmö and Gothenburg. This law is the most recent one Sweden has had in the area of commercial courts. The paper examines how this law came about and why it was abolished, and what alternatives were given after its removal. The discussion about the introduction of commercial courts was initiated in response to protracted litigation of commercial cases that now caused both economic damage to the business community but also to the judicial confidence and authority from merchants. This discussion began in 1875 and can be considered to be concluded in 1972 as it moves on to deal with the reform of arbitration from having dealt with the issue of commercial courts.
The following questions are addressed in the paper: How did the legislation on commercial courts develop in Sweden and to what extent did foreign law and the Swedish political debate influence it? Why and how was the special composition of commercial courts established? What were the driving forces for and against the establishment of commercial courts?
International law in this area has a striking impact on both the 1905 Act and the other debate on commercial courts. In particular, reference is made to the So- og Handelsretten in Copenhagen in most of the proposals for special commercial courts. The social debate in the country will be made visible in certain studies and opinions, this will be of particular importance for the criticism of special commercial procedures. (Less)
Abstract (Swedish)
Uppsatsens syfte är att utforska lagstiftningen och debatten om handelsdomstolar i Sverige från sen 1800-tal till slutet av 1900-talet. Fokus är även på 1905 års lag om särskild sammansättning i handelsmål vid rådhusrätterna i Stockholm, Malmö och Göteborg. Denna lag är den senaste Sverige har haft på handelsdomstolarnas område. Uppsatsen undersöker hur denna lag kom till och varför den togs bort, vilka alternativ som angetts efter avskaffandet. Diskussionen om införandet av handelsdomstolar upptogs i anledning av utdragna processer om handelsmål som nu orsakat både ekonomisk skada för näringslivet men även för rättsväsendet förtroende från handelsmännen. Denna diskussion påbörjar år 1875 och kan anses vara avslutat år 1972 vilket den... (More)
Uppsatsens syfte är att utforska lagstiftningen och debatten om handelsdomstolar i Sverige från sen 1800-tal till slutet av 1900-talet. Fokus är även på 1905 års lag om särskild sammansättning i handelsmål vid rådhusrätterna i Stockholm, Malmö och Göteborg. Denna lag är den senaste Sverige har haft på handelsdomstolarnas område. Uppsatsen undersöker hur denna lag kom till och varför den togs bort, vilka alternativ som angetts efter avskaffandet. Diskussionen om införandet av handelsdomstolar upptogs i anledning av utdragna processer om handelsmål som nu orsakat både ekonomisk skada för näringslivet men även för rättsväsendet förtroende från handelsmännen. Denna diskussion påbörjar år 1875 och kan anses vara avslutat år 1972 vilket den övergår till att behandla reformen för skiljeförfarande från att ha behandlat frågan om handelsdomstolar.
Följande frågeställningar behandlar uppsatsen: Hur utvecklades lagstiftningen om handelsdomstolar i Sverige och till vilken mån har utländsk rätt samt den svenska politiska debatten påverkar denne? Varför och hur inrättades den särskilda sammansättningen vid handelsmål? Vilka var drivkrafterna för och mot handelsdomstolars inrättande?
Den internationella lagstiftningen på området har en slående påverkan på både 1905 års lag samt den övriga debatten om handelsdomstolar. Särskild kommer so- og Handelsretten i Köpenhamn hänvisas till i merparten av förslagen till särskilda handelsdomstolar. Samhällsdebatten i landet kommer att i vissa utredningar och utlåtanden göras sig synlig, detta blir av särskild vikt för kritiken mot särskilt handels förfarande. (Less)
