Hallsberg municipality's decision to appeal a court ruling in order to secure over 700,000 kronor in sanction fees has drawn political criticism from the opposition, according to a report from Nerikes Allehanda. ' The case stems from Infranord's gates being used despite a driving ban, which would have required property owner Train Alliance to pay 117,600 kronor per gate in sanction fees. The municipality appealed the initial ruling that would have exempted Infranord's property owner from paying the sanction fees.

The case is scheduled to be presented in the Land and Environment Court of Appeal on March 19, after which the court will have two weeks to decide whether to grant leave to appeal. It remains unclear whether the case will be taken up in the next instance.
