PLC Arbitration has updated its Table of institutional statistics.

In May 2012, the SCC launched its new Swedish Arbitration Portal, which provides free access to English translations of Swedish court decisions on arbitration issues. The database will be updated regularly as new translations of court decisions become available. At present, the oldest case translated is a 1980 Supreme Court decision.

The Portal contains decisions from all instances of Swedish courts on issues related to arbitration, domestic and international, the purpose being to enhance transparency by making Swedish case law more accessible to an international audience.

Earlier this year, the SCC expanded the range of unofficial translations of Swedish legislative acts available through its website. The Swedish Arbitration Act is available in Chinese, English, French, German, Polish, Romanian, Russian and Spanish. The Swedish Contracts Act, Sales of Goods Act and Interest Act are now available in Chinese and Russian.

English translations of a substantial number of Swedish legislative acts are also available through the official website of the Swedish government; a link is available on the SCC site. The expansion was a joint initiative with Stockholm law firms active in international arbitration, with the aim of increasing transparency.
