SOCIAL LAW

Social law is part of administrative law and covers matters between authorities and individuals. Part of social law is that which is linked to matters within health and social care, personal assistance, group housing, home care and homes for the elderly. The Swedish Social Services Act regulates part of social law.

We may also help you with areas concerning compulsory care that are covered by:

- The Swedish Act on Youth Care (LVU) which regulates compulsory custody of young people under the age of 18.

- The Swedish Act on Addiction Care  (LVM) which regulates the care of individuals with a form of addiction in certain cases.

- The Swedish Act on Compulsory Psychiatric Care (LPT) which regulates compulsory care of individuals with severe psychiatric problems in certain cases.

Compulsory care as well as compulsory custody are very intrusive and serious interventions against an individual's private sphere.

Therefore, it is equally important that the individual in question receives a fair trial and is represented by counsel. In these trials, the court orders public assistance, which means that the state bears the costs. Justice Lawyers will help and assist you should you be subjected to such a trial. You only need to request us as your legal representative at the court. If the court does not appoint a public representative, you can also hire us as a private representative.
