The Position of the Council on Legislation (Lagrådet) in the Kingdom of Sweden – Introductory Remarks

In this work, the authors attempt to point out, on the one hand, the evolution of the Council on Legislation in the Kingdom of Sweden, and on the other, they will investigate the Swedish regulations concerning this body. This will be the basis for concluding remarks. In the opinion of the authors, the subject of these analyses is of significant importance in Poland in the context of searching for solutions optimizing the law-making process. It should be emphasized that in Sweden there is no centralized model of reviewing the constitutionality of the law, and common courts and other public bodies do not often use their right – under the constitution – to examine the constitutionality and legality of legal acts. Hence, in the absence of constitutional review in Polish understanding, it is essential to guarantee prior preventive control.
