The Freedom of the Press Act Chapter 14. General Provisions
Art. 1. The provisions of law generally applicable with respect to the
judicial review of finally adjudicated cases shall apply also to judgments in
cases concerning the freedom of the press, even if the question whether a
criminal offence has been committed has been tried by a jury.
If a case in which a jury has considered whether a criminal offence has
been committed is reopened and its reopening is founded on circumstances which
may be presumed to have influenced the jury's deliberations, it shall be
decided at the same time that the case shall be resubmitted to a jury in the
court which first pronounced judgment. If the retrial has been granted for the
benefit of the accused and the matter is manifest, the court which granted the
retrial may instead amend the judgment forthwith.
Art. 2. The provisions of Chapter 12, Articles 10-14 shall apply with
respect to the appointment of a jury when, in pursuance of a decision of a
higher court, a case concerning the freedom of the press in which a jury
participated is to be heard again by a jury before the court which first
pronounced judgment.
Art. 3. Actions concerning the freedom of the press and other actions
concerning offences against the provisions of this Act shall always be heard
without delay.
Art. 4. Repealed.
Art. 5. In all matters not dealt with in this Act or in special
legislation enacted by virtue of this Act, general provisions of law and
statute shall apply.
Except as otherwise provided in this Act or elsewhere in law, foreign
nationals are to be equated with Swedish citizens.
