Legislator summary

AI generated

The Administrative Court dismissed the inmate's request for social assistance covering 1,650 marks in clothing. Although the inmate argued that prison regulations requiring personal clothing created a need exceeding his net income of 400 marks per month, the lower court found his earnings insufficient to meet the statutory threshold. The court upheld the decision based on the strict application of income limits in the Social Services Act.

Työsiirtolassa oleva vanki vaati toimeentulotukea vaatteisiin

1 165 markkaa. Vanki oli mennyt suorittamaan vapausrangaistustaan

vuonna 1986 vankilaan, josta hän oli siirtynyt

5.5.1987 työsiirtolaan. Koska avolaitokseen määrätyn

on käytettävä omia vaatteitaan, hän oli rangaistuksen pituus

huomioon ottaen vaatteiden tarpeessa työsiirtolassa. Palkkatuloa

hänelle jäi itselleen pidätysten jälkeen noin 400

mk/kk. Lääninoikeus velvoitti lautakunnan myöntämään toimeentulotukea

vaatteisiin 500 markkaa ja hylkäsi hakemuksen

enemmälti tulojen perusteella.
