No Supreme court ruling has been made relating to whether the (Sales Law) or the (Consumer Sales Act) is applicable due to whether the buyer is a consumer or not.

Or possibly better
There is no Supreme court ruling relating to whether the (Sales Law) or the (Consumer Sales Act) is applicable due to whether the buyer is a consumer or not.

Yeah, judges need to correct their clerks' BS better in some Swe courts.

Explanation:
Here I'm quoting your text with two commas inserted for clarity:

Något rättsfall från Högsta domstolen, huruvida köplagen eller konsumentköplagen är tillämplig på grund av om köparen är konsument eller inte, finns inte.

It is my opinion that these commas should have been included in the original, but they didn’t ask me. ;-) I would also insert the word "angående" after the first comma.

I don't think you should actually translate using the phrase I have provided, but it is the right translation for the isolated phrase in your question. It should be obvious that you need to reword the entire sentence in English.

disagree  George Hopkins: Nikolaj's answer is short and exactly to the point. Correction: SORRY, SORRY, my mistake. No offence intended. My comment should of course have been: Tim's answer is short and exactly to the point.

  -> You agreed with Tim, but not Nikolaj?? The way I see it Tim and I pretty much agree. You seem to be getting personal here. Change accepted! But my examples show I'd rewrite the entire sentence for a completely different result than the answer.

Explanation:
"There is no case that could serve as a precedent, ... or at least none that are applicable as relevant."

The entire sentence needs to be reformulated in the translation (as is the case of course with a professional translation of legal text/language).
