Arbetet behandlar uppsåtsbegreppet i svensk och dansk rätt. Arbetet fokuserar särskilt på den nedre gränsen för uppsåt i svensk och dansk rätt.

Det finns inte heller någon lag som anger hur säljarens kontraktsbrott på grWhen buying and selling goods (tangible assets), there is an established set of rules that regulates situations of non-conformity of the goods in both Sweden and in international conventions.

The art of medicine in the semi-urban and poorly literate medieval Nordic countries was essentially a craft. Those skilled in medicine learned their profession by being apprenticed to people who were more experienced and knowledgeable. But unlike other crafts, such as that of the potter or the carpenter, one could not practice just any way. One could not start from scratch with one’s lump of clay

Analysen exemplifierar genom att ta sin utgångspunkt i miljöorganisationers talerätt i skogsbruksfrågor. Lagstiftarens ursprungliga intentioner vid införlivandet (särskilt Ds 200
Barn som far illa, eller riskerar att fara illa, kan i Sverige tvångsomhändertas och beredas vård enligt lag (1990:52) med särskilda bestämmelser om vård av unga (LVU).

Med miljöfall avses fall där problemen och omständigheterna som föranleder ett ingripande finns i barnets omgivning, såsom att barnet blivit utsatt för misshand
