I am at present under a court order not to distribute the OTs and NOTs and I am at present complying with that order. So until such time that the court order is lifted or I decide to violate it, I will not be mailing the "offending" material.For the time being have others taken over my task of mailing the OTs and NOTs. I cannot redirect requests to these persons, nor direct them to those making the requests without violating the court orders. I am convinced though that the persons in question read ars and will mail the material you request if you ask for it in ars. I guess you would ease their job by putting "I want OT" or "I want NOT" in the subject line.As for the court case, the entire file is public. Copies can be easily requested from the court. A simple informal letter to the court and a way to pay the cost is all what's needed. Here's a sample letter:------------------------------------------------------------------- Stockholms tingsrätt Box 8307 SE-104 20 Stockholm Sweden_Request of copy of a public document._Please send me one copy of file attachment(s) nr nn in case T 7-866-96.I understand that my request comprises nnn pages at a cost of SEK nnn plus postage SEK nn.

ENG* indicates that the document is a translation to English.The constitunal right to copies of public documents covers only Swedish citizens (irrespective of residence). Through law and treaties it is also applicable to foreign citizens in Sweden, EU citizens of any residence and EU residents of any citizenship. Denying the same right to others would constitute discrimination, so you should be able to count solidly on the court honouring your request no matter where it comes from.The primary court's decision to deny secrecy for the OTs and NOTs is valid even if it should be appealed against, until the court of appeals rules otherwise. It is also possible to request less than one whole file attachment. You must then specify which pages you want and adjust the sum you send. The court makes a charge for copies and postage.The copy cost is calculated this way: 1-9 pages: free 10 pages: SEK 40 additional pages: SEK 2 eachIn addition you have to pay the postage, even for free copies. That's a bit harder to calculate. Copies are made on 80 gram A4 paper, which means that each page weighs 5,04 g. Multiply the number of pages you want by 5,04, add some 7-30 grams for envelope depending on the size of your order and go into the table below.Air mail to: Sweden Baltic & Nordic Rest of Rest of countries Europe the world weight SEK SEK SEK SEK 0-20 g 4 5 6 8 21-50 g 8 12 13 14 51-100 g 8 14 16 20 101-250 g 14 22 28 40 251-500 g 22 35 52 70 501-1000 g 30 70 100 1301001-2000 g 110 160 210For example the whole OTs and NOTs comprise 224 pages weighing approximately 1150 g with envelope. Note that it is cheaper to have them mailed in two letters of 1000 g + 150 g than to get them in one single letter. If you want to make this saving, point it out in your request to the court. And send a big question mark to the Swedish mail.Do not send non-Swedish cash to the court; it will mess up their accountancy, create a terrible amount of extra work and they'll hate you for it. Buy Swedish cash at your nearest bank or send Swedish crowns by money order and the like. Banker's cheques are expensive to cash and non-Swedish personal cheques cannot be cashed at all. Swedish cash exists in denominations of 20, 50, 100, 500 and 1000 SEK. If you send a money order, make sure that you specify no cashing cost for the beneficiary.If you have a European giro account, Eurogiro is probably the best way to pay. Calculate as above, make out the payment in SEK and add SEK 40 for the giro fee at the receiving end. The court has giro account (can't find it on a Sunday, will post it later in ars).Finally, for your information, you will find a table of exchange at http://www.forex.se/valuta.htmlZ
