On 25 February 2025, in Ä 3169-24, Sweden’s Supreme Court changed the lower court’s refusal and required Umeå District Court to release the requested criminal-case documents to Trobar AB subject to restrictions. Trobar may not supply the public or paying customers with the documents in ways that reveal individuals’ names, personal identity numbers or addresses, provide searches that reveal those details, or use the documents for alerts tracking whether a particular person appears. This is the majority’s disposition; the dissent at the end of the document favours rejection and is not the judgment. No monetary fine was imposed.
