AD 2018 nr 48

AD 2018 nr 48, Swedish Labour Court (2018)

Judgment of Swedish Labour Court, 2018. Statutes applied: Offentlighets- och sekretesslag, Patientdatalag. The headnote below is reproduced verbatim in Swedish, as published by the court.

Original headnote (Swedish)

En tandhygienist har avskedats efter att han flera gånger i mejl till Migrationsverket lämnat uppgifter om patienter som han behandlat, som var asylsökande, och ifrågasatt deras uppgivna ålder. Såväl tingsrätten som Arbetsdomstolen har funnit att han därmed brutit mot tystnadsplikten och sekretessen enligt bl.a. offentlighets- och sekretesslagen. Till skillnad mot tingsrätten har Arbetsdomstolen funnit att det förelegat laga skäl för avskedande.
