Summary, in English
Public entities can be responsible for court administration and supervision over judges. This article provides an overview of this issue, using Sweden as the main example. The article contains a general discussion on what is understood by ’supervision’ and ‘public entities’, how such a topic can be analysed, and how supervision can preferably be arranged so as to safeguard a high level of judicial independence, and, in turn, ensure impartiality. To guarantee impartiality and a fair trial within reasonable time, independence needs to go hand in hand with accountability. The Swedish development with supervision over courts and judges by governmental and parliamentary offices and administration through a public authority, namely the National Courts Administration, is discussed, and the need for reform is analysed. The Swedish institutions are also put in a wider European context with reference to German, Italian, English and Danish examples.
