Lexbase
Regarding settlements, we are limited to go into detail. Lexbase publishes thousands of articles every year, which means that very high demands are placed on the published content. Like all other publishers, we can make mistakes in how we express ourselves or what we report, and then we have to correct or correct the published articles - something that can take the form of settlements in Swedish courts.
Our journalistic decisions and rules regarding what is monitored and published are applied completely consistently to everyone, without any special treatment whatsoever.
Crime hoax
The company has not responded.
Mr Koll
The right to request erasure has always existed, but based on the changing jurisprudence of recent years, we and our competitors have made it easier for an individual to request an erasure.

Regarding the website, I have to blame the human factor: it is simply wrong and will be updated.
