Abstract The purpose of this study was to investigate which legal sources the Swedish courts base their rulings on, regarding reconsidering of animal prohibition and if this provides guidance in future assessments. Further on was the purpose to investigate to which extent animal prohibition is decided, reconsidered and reversed by the county administrative boards between the years 2013–2017. To find out which legal sources the courts base their rulings on, 75 court rulings was audited from administrative courts and administrative court of appeals. To investigate which extent animal prohibition is decided, reconsidered and reversed, statistics from the Swedish Agriculture Agency was audited. The result indicate that some guidance on how decisions can be motivated, can be assisted by court rulings. Legal sources, that the courts support their motivations on, that may be indicative in future assessments regarding reconsinderings of animal prohibition, are for example the administrative court of appeals practice from Jönköping (case nr 1777–11). The statistics from the Swedish Agriculture Agency shows that the county administrative boards decided on animal prohibition on average 81,5% of the initiated animal prohibition trials and reversed on average 29% of the submitted applications for reverse of animal prohibition. The applications for reverse of animal prohibition that are subsequently appealed to court are rarely reversed, only 2 of the 75 court decisions reversed the animal prohibition. The guidance available at present from the courts is limited.
