The County Administrative Court partially allowed the applicant's claim against the social board's denial of subsistence support. The applicant, a former baker, refused multiple job offers from the employment office because they did not match her interrupted culinary education. The court held that the social board erred by rejecting the support application solely on the ground of the applicant's refusal to accept work deemed unsuitable by her qualifications.

K oli irtisanoutunut työstään leipomossa työn raskauden vuoksi. Työvoimatoimistosta K:lle oli tämän jälkeen tarjottu työksi porkkanan nostoa, käpyjen keräystä, varhaispostin jakoa ja latupohjien valmistusta. K, joka oli jättänyt kokin opintonsa kesken, ei ottanut tarjottuja työpaikkoja vastaan, koska hän katsoi, etteivät työt vastanneet hänen koulutustaan. Sosiaalilautakunta hylkäsi K:n toimeentulotukihakemuksen, koska hän oli aiheuttanut avustuksen tarpeen kieltäytymällä toistuvasti hänelle tarjotusta työstä. LO katsoi K:lle tarjottu työ ja hänen olosuhteensa muutoin huomioon ottaen, ettei sosiaalilautakunnan olisi tullut tällä perusteella hylätä hakemusta.
