In 1791, the Court-Martial of Appeal was created, initially consisting of at least 7 members, including military officers and a justiciar.
Over time, its composition and role evolved, eventually becoming a division of the Svea Court of Appeal in 1916.
The new appellate court was called the Court-Martial of Appeal (Krigshovrätt) in the proclamation, a designation encountered here for the first time.
[2] The King in Council's Court-Martial of Appeal would consist of at least 7 members, including the president, of which 6 would be military officers and one would be a justiciar.
[2] The position of justiciar was changed in 1827 to a Lord Justice of Court-Martial of Appeal's (krigshovrättsråd) office.
When ordered by the king, a special Supreme Military Court (Överkrigsrätt) could be established for an army outside the realm or for a fleet on a naval expedition (§ 12), or for both jointly.
The Court-Martial of Appeal was composed of four military members appointed by the king for three years, namely a general officer as president and three regimental officers (including at least one with the rank of colonel), as well as a civilian member appointed by the king with the title of Lord Justice of Court-Martial of Appeal.
