You have submitted an application for a summons (“stämningsansökan”) in an action amenable to out-of-court settlement (“dispositivt tvistemål”) in both Polish and English, and now question if the court can dismiss it if it is not written in Swedish and is not translated following an order.
The language of the legal proceedings is Swedish, and documents submitted to the court shall consequently be in Swedish. An application for a summons should always be in Swedish. In certain cases, documents in languages other than Swedish may be accepted. It is the task of the court in each individual case to determine if, and the extent to which, deviations may occur from the general rule that the legal proceedings are to be conducted in Swedish. Frequently, then, certain types of documents (e.g. agreements, letters and other written evidence) in Danish or Norwegian should be accepted. Also, documents of this type in English should often be able to be accepted. Documents in languages other than these (for example Polish) should normally not be accepted.
If you fail to obey the supplementation order to translate the application for a summons into Swedish, the application will be dismissed.
