Tesla has filed a lawsuit against the Swedish government's Transport Agency over a workers' strike that has blocked the U.S. auto maker's requests for license plates for new vehicles, business daily Dagens Industri reported on Monday.
Yes and it doesn’t apply here. Seizure (“beslag” in Swedish) has a specific meaning in legal contexts, and it’s hardly used at all outside legal jargon.
See Chapter 27 of the Code of Judicial Procedure (Rättegångsbalken) regulating how an authority may use seizure. Link to English translation
at worst they’re using work to rule to screw over Tesla. More realistically they don’t want to be part of that conflict whatever individuals at the agency may feel about this whole thing.
There is such a thing as de-facto doing things though. It’d be more useful to look at precedent with similar cases than just a cold read of the words. It can very easily play out differently than you think.

Sweden isn’t common law so precedents are largely irrelevant. The law is applied as written on a case by case basis.

It means the same in dutch! I didnt know you swedes said the same. But it also means batter, as in pannenkoekenbeslag = pancakebatter
Oliebollenbeslag would be a fitting substitute this time of year.
You sure about that? Because it sure seems like the courts don’t agree with you: https://techcrunch.com/2023/11/27/sweden-sides-with-tesla-says-transport-agency-must-deliver-plates-or-pay-up/
