Case status
Where we currently stand against Mojang, and how we got here.
Right now
The court has issued a summons against Mojang, who now have to submit their defense
The opt-in phase is over, where 1 464 participants confirmed to the court in time that they want to be covered by the class action (with around 180 more arriving too late). The court has not approved Mojang's motion to dismiss, & has issued them a summons to submit their defense without delay, as in giving their answer asap. Beyond that we are still waiting on a formal decision on whether the suit qualifies as a class action.

What "awaiting certification" means
In simple terms, Swedens class action procedure has two stages, where before anyone argues about whether Mojang did anything wrong, the court first has to decide whether this qualifies as a class action at all — whether the group is properly defined, whether the claims can be tried together, whether the procedure fits and so on. That is the hurdle we are currently trying to get through.
It has not been decided yet. In its request for clarifications dated the 23rd of July 2026, the court preliminarily came to the conclusion that there appear to be grounds to proceed as a class action, while raising doubts as to whether it can try certain claims, where we answered those on the 5th of August 2026.
As of the 7th of October 2026 the court has not approved Mojang's motion to dismiss, & has issued them a summons to submit their defense without delay, where they will most likely try to formulate grounds for dismissal or try to pass the blame onto Microsoft. The court notes that the work of finally forming the group is still ongoing, & will take considerable time.
Obviously none of this should be read as a hint at how a judge would eventually rule on the substance of the case, given that these are preliminary questions that came up after going through the filings, nothing more.

The court notified the participants
August – September 2026
The court sent its notice out to the group participants by email, where everyone who wanted to be covered by the class action had to confirm that in writing to the court no later than 25 September 2026. 1,464 participants confirmed in time, with around 180 more arriving too late.
Court confirms it will notify the participants
August 2026
The court confirmed that it will be handling the sendoff of the notices to the group participants itself, where they will be sent with an english translation included.
Court requested clarifications
July 2026
The court preliminarily found that there appear to be grounds to proceed as a class action, while raising doubts as to whether it can try claims 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4, where we sent our response on the 5th of August 2026.
Filings submitted
24 June 2026
We submitted the filings to Nacka tingsrätt, where the case was assigned the number T 5478-26 the following day.
Participation list collected
August 2025 – June 2026
33,561 raw submissions came in, where we then filtered them against the group criteria, ultimately ending up at 2,845 participants.
Settlement attempt failed
October 2025
Mojang denied every allegation & claimed that anything we might bring was too late anyway due to the statue of limitations, aka "we did nothing wrong, and even if we did it's too late for you to do anything about it". As such, our obligation to try resolving it out of court first was fulfilled.
Legal representation secured
May 2025
We contacted every single law firm in swedish jurisdiction that specialised in the relevant fields, where we then narrowed it down to two based on response times, familiarity with the fields in relation to our case, direct experience with "similar" cases and so on, and picked the one best suited to it.
Funding raised
December 2024
The crowdfunding goal was hit in under two days, where the funds were later moved into a swedish bank account opened solely for this case.
Participation
The list of 2,845 participants was sent in to the court on the 19th of June 2026, where 1,464of them confirmed to the court by 25 September 2026 that they want to be covered by the class action. Anyone who did not make it in cansign up for future legal action.
If we get through certification, the idea is to demand that Mojang send out a notice to affected users from their own internal databases, where everyone else would then get a chance to join. That obviously depends on both getting certified and the court actually granting the request, so nothing is guaranteed. The FAQ goes into more detail.
