From Wiktionary, the free dictionary

Recommendations against the use of this word in legal prose, together with suggested replacements, are found in Svarta listan : Ord och fraser som kan ersättas i författningsspråk (4th ed., 2011), published by the government of Sweden. The recommendations apply primarily to governmental texts; they may or may not apply to other legal prose.

The title translates to "Black list : Words and phrases that can be replaced in legal prose". The foreword notes that the name is misleading: the words are not banned, but using alternatives should be considered, at least in some contexts.
