The Ombudsman for Justice (JO) criticizes the administrative court in Uppsala and its long processing times, UNT writes.

In 2022, the cases in the country’s various administrative courts were in the vast majority of cases concluded after less than eight months. In Uppsala, the processing time was 35 percent longer, almost eleven months and the second longest in the country.

In an LSS case that the JO reviewed, it took one year and three months to make a decision, something the JO considers “exceeded what was reasonable and acceptable.”

In a response to UNT, Christina Maxén, chief administrator at the administrative court in Uppsala, writes that certain cases have priority and that LSS cases can therefore take longer.

According to UNT, the administrative court has received extra money to work on cases that have become dormant.
