Principen om jura novit curia är en allmänt vedertagen princip i svensk rätt. Principen innebär att domstolarna självständigt bestämmer vilka rättsregler som ska tillämpas i varje enskilt fall. I detta ingår ett ansvar för domstolarna att utreda innehållet i gällande rätt. Det förhåller sig dock annorlunda när det är fråga om tillämpning av utländska rättsordningar. Domstolen kan då delegera en deThe Latin legal maxim iura novit curia is applied in Swedish law.

3:12-reglerna kallas de särskilda fördelningsreglerna för beskattning av fåmansföretag. Problemet är att i Sverige finns en dual beskattning för fysiska personer, där inkomster antingen ska beskattas som kapitalinkomst eller som tjänsteinkomst. Utdelning från fåmansföretag hamnar emellan dessa två inkomstslag och det är 3:12-reglerna som avgör vad som ska utgöra vad. Dagens regler utgörs av defi
