Challenges & Solutions

Built for how lawyers actually work

01

Search 1M+ documents in plain language

Wysor searches more than 1 million documents with one question, including precedent-setting rulings from Högsta domstolen, Högsta förvaltningsdomstolen, Migrationsöverdomstolen and Statens VA-nämnd, legislation and preparatory works. Results are ranked by relevance and come back in full text.

Högsta domstolen and HFD precedents

The collection holds the vägledande avgöranden of the Supreme Court and the Supreme Administrative Court, the rulings that set precedent in Swedish law. Describe the issue in your own words, such as "tax surcharge for incorrect information" or "hidden defects in real property", and filter by court, case type or date when you need to narrow down. The rulings are pseudonymised before publication.

Migration precedents

Precedents from Migrationsöverdomstolen on asylum, residence permits and citizenship are in the same search, so a migration question returns the guiding rulings without a separate lookup.

Legislation and preparatory works

Wysor covers Swedish legislation, government bills, committee reports and other parliamentary documents. When a provision is unclear, the preparatory works come back in the same search as the precedents that apply it. EU law is included as well, including Court of Justice case law.

What Wysor does not cover in Sweden

Wysor searches published precedents, not every judgment. Rulings of the district courts, courts of appeal and administrative courts are not included, nor are Arbetsdomstolen rulings, cases published after March 2025 or municipal regulations. For those you will need another source.
