A project for a new system of/tee legal aid is considered in Sweden, and a bill was presented to the Riksdag in January 1972. Under the auspices of regional public authorities legal assistance will under the new scheme be provided by public law frms or lawyers in private practice. The costs involved will be wholly or partly financed out of public funds. Only persons with an annual income less than 12000 U.S. dollars will be benefic£ries of the system and have in principle themselves to make a contribution to the costs, in relation to income and economic status. The system will in principle be applicable in all legal matters whether or not the case is brought before a court, a tribunal or an administrative authority, but professional business activities are excluded from the scope of the system, and legal aid may be denied where the applicant's claim is manifestly ill-founded.
Since July 1971 a new system for compensation/or personal injury to victims o/crime is in force in Sweden. In principle, compensation will be paid only where the circumstances are socially and economically particularly distressing, and there is no guarantee, that full and adequate compensation will be paid. Only claims exceeding 60 U.S. dollars will be considered and amounts exceeding i0000 U.S. dollars will normally not be paid. Compensation for moral damage will be paid only in exceptional cases. The system is administered by the Ministry of Justice, and the total amount available during the first fiscal year is 200000 U.S. dollars.
