I Sverige har det i över 100 år varit förbjudet att bygga hus i trä högre än två våningar. Lagen upphävdes 1994 då byggnormen ändrades och trähus återigen fick byggas högt då lagen ändrades från att begränsa materialval till att kräva de funktionskrav som skall uppfyllas. Dock byggs det inte så mycket höga trähus i Sverige trots den stora skogsproduktion som faktiskt producerar 120 stycken normals

Nanoteknik är ‘big business’. Stora summor pengar står på spel då detta innovativa teknikområde expanderar i snabb takt. Denna undersökning utgår från antagandet att ekonomiska intressen snarare än demokratiska värden och hållbar utveckling styr utvecklingen av nanoteknik i Sverige idag. Detta ses som problematiskt, och det övergripande målet är att föreslå alternativa principer för att styra utveNanotechnology is big business.

Rättsprincipen obehörig vinst, eller vinstregeln som den också kallas, har jämfört med andra europeiska rättsordningar haft en marginell betydelse i Sverige. Även om principen under en lång period varit föremål för skarp kritik från rättevetenskapligt håll, så har den på senare tid fått förnyad aktualitet då den dykt upp i flertalet rättsfall. I uppsatsen görs därför en översyn av svensk lagstiftnUnjust enrichment has, compared to other European legal systems, played a marginal role in Sweden.
