Yes, that is correct. This new article in TTELA explains it rather well. Apparently, there are four possible reasons why the Court of Appeal may decide to hear the appeal:

1) The Court is doubtful if the District Court made the right ruling.
2) The Court needs to look into the case in order to be able to tell if the District Court made the right ruling.
3) The Court deems that the case would set an important precedent for future cases.
4) The Court deems that there are “special reasons” for looking into the case.

So basically, the Court of Appeal has a carte blanche to take on the case if they feel like it.

I’m no expert in Swedish law, of course, but that’s my understanding. They first consider whether the appeal should be heard, which could be taken as a minor judgement in itself with regard to the Vanersborg ruling.

Hi Steven, is it true that SAAB must be “allowed” to appeal the decision of the court? I’m a memeber of a forum of Saab stockholders and on that forum they say that it’s not sure if SAAB has the right to appeal.

I wouldn’t expect a result until later in the week. Thursday at the earliest, I’d suggest.

I still have faith that Saab can pull through. And as always, thank you Swade for keeping a level head through the worst of times. You do an incredible job and I don’t know anyone else that would be “Keep calm, and carry on” as well as you do.
