I'm translating a document about a case that was heard before the TR, then HovR, and now suddenly it is talking about KM, which I cannot find anywhere....

Any ideas what the KM stands for? I am more than desperate here and would be incredibly grateful for any suggestions :)

Kunglig Majestät
Explanation:
I can think of KM as an abbreviation for Kunglig Majestät - I don't know very much about the Swedish court system, but maybe certain legal decrees/judgements (especially those of the Supreme Court) are issued in the king's name. Maybe this helps.

Asker: Hmmm....that was practically my only idea. But I could not find any (Google) evidence to back that up...I was googling Kunglig Majestät with a typo...;)

KM's judgment was delivered on the 19th Dec


Explanation:
I don't think KM is an abbreviation for any of the Swedish courts. The translation of the sentence is as I've mentioned. There seems to be a legal case; "T.R and K.M vs United Kingdom" and has to do with some ethics that were broken. The European Court is somehow involved too.

Hmmm... KM is an abbreviation of Kunglig Majestät as per the website micawber has given. But I can't find anything related to TR or Hovrätten.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Hi Shaziya, I also found the website where you got T.R and K.M vs United Kingdom from. However, on the website which I later gave here, it was this line "Benämningen användes även i alla de utslag och domar som utfärdades av Högsta domstolen," which made me agree with micawber. Ultimately though, this page http://www.flashback.info/showthread.php?t=398858 clinched it for me. Thanks for your help though!!
