The tenant's association sued the state in 1993

​

Two years after the housing association's comprehensive restoration project ended in 1991 the Swedish Parliament changed the conditions for the entire financing by increasing the so-called "guaranteed interest" on mortgages, which led to a sharp increase in costs. The Parliament's decision meant that several hundred condominium associations and several thousand private property owners went bankrupt.

​

The association therefore sued the state in the Market Court (win 5-0) and subsequently civil law in District Court and Court of Appeal (loss in both) and also requested review in Supreme Court, which was denied.
