Some time next week, there will be a Supreme Administrative Court decision regarding wolf hunting in Värmland and Örebro.
“That it drags on is about how reality has demands and business requirements need to be reconciled. We’re a precedent body. We do not do things in a week normally, which we are doing now,” says Paul Sjogren, Registrar of the Court, to TT.
It is he who prefers the matter and he defends the time length. The Administrative Appeals Court made its decision in a few days.
“The aim of our work is to identify and write precedential decisions. Then we can not like a lower court throw out something; we have to consider whether it is at all something interesting to say.
It’s about the right to legally challenge a decision wolf hunting as the relevant county administrative boards have taken and that the Environmental Protection Agency said yes to. The right to appeal the ban was appealed to the administrative court which gave the complainant that right and stopped the licensed hunting.
But the next instance of Appeal, the Higher Court gave a hearty rebuff and lifted the hunting ban.
“The Administrative Appeals Court has made its assessment and it is that which applies unless we do something else,” says Paul Sjögren.
On Monday, only one wolf was shot, and thus 21 of 36 wolves have been shot.
