The Administrative Court dismissed the complaint regarding the disqualification of the city's purchasing chief from municipal elections. The plaintiff argued that the chief, though part of a financial office, performed tasks requiring direct subordination to the city council. The court found that the chief was not a leading official directly subordinate to the council nor comparable to such officials in administrative leadership. Consequently, the court ruled that the statutory requirements for election eligibility were not met, leading to the disqualification.

Kaupungin hankintapäällikkö toimi osastopäällikkönä hankintaosastossa. Osasto kuului viiden osaston muodostamaan rahatoimistoon, jonka päällikkö oli kaupungin kamreeri. Hankintaosasto oli kaupungin hankintatoimen johtosäännön mukaan hankintalautakunnan alainen. Hankintapäällikkö ei ollut välittömästi kaupunginhallituksen alaisena toimiva kaupungin keskushallinnon johtava viranhaltija eikä häntä myöskään voitu pitää asemaltaan tällaiseen viranhaltijaan rinnastettavana hallinnonalan johdossa toimivana viranhaltijana, vaikka hankintapäällikön tehtävänä oli rahatoimiston johtosäännön mukaan suorittaa mm. kaupunginhallituksen määräämät toimialaansa kuuluvat tehtävät. Hankintapäällikkö oli vaalikelpoinen kunnallisvaaleissa.
