Usage notes

edit
  • The word is used in various Swedish laws and court sentences, with slightly differing definitions, as the Wikipedia article explains.
  • On its way from adjective to noun (en närstående person → en närstående), a proper definite form declension (närståenden) is very rare. It is often avoided as in the example sentence.
