Chapter 3 · How Sweden is governed
En minister vill bestämma hur en myndighet ska avgöra en persons ansökan enligt lag. Vad gäller?
A minister wants to dictate how an agency decides a person’s application under the law. What applies?
Correct answer: The agency must apply the law independently in the case
The agency must apply the law independently in the individual case. Neither the minister nor the government may dictate the outcome of such a protected case, although the government directs the agency’s work more generally.
