Swedish to English
Law/Patents
Law (general)
Divorce
From a law firm letter to a District Court., heading:
"Fullföljd av äktenskapsskillnad"
In every dictionary and wordlist (Gullberg, Domstolsordlista, Polisens termbank etc.) 'fullföljd' is 'appeal'. Norstedts stora svenska agrees: "hänskjutande till högra instans".
YET: "Efter lagstadgad betänketid får undertecknad XX yrka att tingsrätten i dom dömer till äktenskapsskillnad mellan mig och XX."
This person seems to be asking for the divorce to be FINALISED, not an APPEAL. Is the law firm using 'fullföljd' wrongly? Or are all the dictionaries missing something?

The web ref. suggests the law firm's letter use of fullföljd is right. Whether fullföljning is preferable is for native Swedes to decide.

Comment: "Seems my conjecture was right - that the term is used in a way the lexicographers have missed. Thanks for confirming this."
