- Background and aims: Studies have shown that 65% of people with dizziness may have a vestibular etiologic diagnosis, possibly benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). The diagnosis of BPPV is based on medical history and findings after the Dix-Hallpike test. It is sometimes difficult to perform the Dix-Hallpike test in elderly persons, due to the limited range of motion when extending the neck. In this study, we used a side-lying test to stimulate the posterior semicircular canal, while the head and neck were fully supported on the examination table. The aims of this study were to investigate the prevalence of dizziness and/or impaired balance and BPPV in a population of 75-year-olds by means of a questionnaire and clinical tests, and to compare elderly persons with and without BPPV.Methods: A representative population sample of 675 persons completed a questionnaire about dizziness and 571 persons underwent side-lying, static balance and dynamic walking tests.Results: Subjective dizziness and/or impaired balance were found in 36% of subjects, especially when walking outdoors. A significant gender difference was found, with a higher prevalence in women (40%) compared with men (30%) (p<0.01). BPPV was found in 11% and was significantly more common in women (p<0.01). Elderly individuals with BPPV also displayed significantly impaired balance in static and dynamic balance tests compared with persons without BPPV (p<0.01). Persons with BPPV reported significantly more subjective problems with dizziness and balance compared with persons without BPPV (p<0.001).Conclusions: Subjective and objective unsteadiness, dizziness and BPPV are common in the elderly.

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The facts of Kleinwort Benson Ltd v. Lincoln City Council will become clear from the following case notes. The case has attracted quite some attention in England. This is not only because it includes the final speech on the law of restitution by Lord Goff of Chievely, it also raises some highly interesting questions. How should interest rate swaps with local authorities be judged? When should recovery for mistake of law be allowed? Do judicial decisions act retrospectively?It is especially the latter question which is a central point in the discussion of the case in the ensuing case notes. Foreign observers obviously are baffled by the fully retrospective effect which the majority accords to judicial change. Is not this against the whole idea of precedent in the common law?

Ersättningsklausuler : vite och andra avtalade ersättningar vid kontraktsbrott

Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The object of this work is to consider the importance of the purpose attached to such clauses as liquidated damages, penalties and forfeiture. Such clauses are common for example in contracts for goods and construction. They also appear in the form of a deposit in contracts for land. As a general term for this kind of clauses the term ”compensation clause” is used.The primary method used has been analysis of ordinary Swedish High Court-cases. As most of these cases date back to the turn of this century, the author discusses whether they still represent a correct view in today’s society. As much of the analysis conserns such intricate matters as construction of contracts, cases from other Nordic countries are not used. However, Nordic legal literature is considered frequently in the discussion. English and German law on the field is dealt with in a separate chapter.The main result of the study is that the individual purpose of the compensation clause appears to play only a minor role in its application. However, a general aim, to provide compensation and fascilitate dispute settlement, is fulfilled through presumptions and adjustment. The main aspect is whether the clause requires a breach of contract. Different kinds of clauses are applied similarly. Thus the term ”compensation clause” is recommended as a more general term for clauses requiring breach of contract and specifying either a special amount or the basis for calculation.The construction of the clause in different aspects is discussed, e.g., the relevant breach, the necessity and influence of the actual damage and the possibility of requiring performance of the contract. The possibility of an adjustment of the amount according to Contract Act 36 § is considered, as well as the validity of a clause connected with an invalid obligation.
