Tingsrätt
The tingsrätt is the lowest instance of ordinary jurisdiction in criminal and civil matters in Sweden and käräjäoikeus in Finland . In this respect, it is comparable to a German district or regional court . The next highest instance is the hovrätt , the last instance of the Högsta domstolen in Sweden and the korkein oikeus / Högsta domstolen in Finland. The councils were set up uniformly throughout Sweden in 1971 and in Finland in 1993. Previously existed in the larger cities in Sweden a rådhusrätt and elsewhere a häradsrätt . The number of councilors in Sweden fell from initially 100 to 53 (2009) to 42 (2017).
