The study aims to investigate how Swedish governmental agencies deal with persons who make excessively large amounts of freedom of information requests. These persons, who can be said to suffer from justice obsession syndrome, often consume an unproportional amount of government agency resources. More specifically, the study investigates whether Swedish government agencies have created formal rules and guidelines on how to handle these citizens and how employees of these agencies view the handling of these cases. The material consists of interviews conducted with ten employees at nine diffrent Swedish government agencies. In addition 24official guidelines where collected from 22 diffrent Swedish government agencies. Trancripts from the interviews and the official guidelines fomed the data of analysis. The study concludes that the majority of the Swedish governmental agencies have well-established routines when dealing with these persons and their freedom of information requests. This regardless of how often or how rarley they deal with this.
