Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Administrative Court of Vaasa determined that a social board's request to recover housing benefits must be adjudicated in the county where the recipient resides. The court relied on the principle that jurisdiction for such administrative disputes follows the location of the person subject to the claim. Consequently, the case was assigned to the competent court based on the defendant's domicile rather than the applicant's location.
