The Administrative Court of Sweden dismissed the association's appeal for an injunction against timber harvesting. The association argued that six weeks had passed since the permit application was submitted, but the court found the application was incomplete at the time. Consequently, the statutory processing period had not yet begun, and the company was not entitled to start harvesting.

Interimistiskt beslut om avverkningsförbud i samband med anmälan för samråd. En förening lämnade in ett överklagande till Skogsstyrelsen med en begäran om inhibition sedan sex veckor förflutit från det att en avverkningsanmälan kom in till Skogsstyrelsen. Eftersom anmälan inte var komplett, och Skogsstyrelsen beviljat anstånd för komplettering, har sexveckorsfristen för behandling av ärendet inte börjat löpa. Att sex veckor förflutit sedan anmälan gavs in har under dessa förutsättningar inte givit bolaget rätt att påbörja avverkningen. Föreningens överklagande till MMD har därför avvisats och MMD:s beslut om inhibition undanröjts.
