The County Administrative Court ruled that a building committee member was biased because he had previously served as the chairman of the association applying for the building permit. The court found that his role in the association's management from 1976 to 1989 included participation in the project's planning and preparation before his departure. Consequently, the court held that his impartiality was compromised, making him ineligible to participate in the committee's handling of the application.

Oliko yhdistyksen hallituksen puheenjohtajana aikaisemmin toiminut henkilö esteellinen osallistumaan yhdistyksen rakennuslupahakemuksen käsittelemiseen rakennuslautakunnassa.

Rakennuslautakunnan jäsen K oli ollut yhdistyksen hallituksen puheenjohtaja 9.2.1976 - 23.11.1989. Kaupunginvaltuusto oli 30.3.1987 hyväksynyt yhdistyksen hakemuksesta asemakaavaan muutoksen, jolla yhdistyksen kiinteistölleen suunnittelema rakennushanke tehtiin mahdolliseksi. Yhdistys jätti hanketta koskevan rakennuslupahakemuksen 5.6.1990. Rakennuslautakunta myönsi 6.2.1991 rakennusluvan, johon sisältyi kaksi vähäistä poikkeamista asemakaavasta.

Lääninoikeus katsoi, että K oli asemansa perusteella yhdistyksen hallinnossa osallistunut rakennushankkeen suunnitteluun ja muuhun valmisteluun ennen eroamistaan 23.11.1989 siten, että hänen puolueettomuutensa oli asiassa vaarantunut. K oli siten ollut esteellinen osallistumaan rakennuslupa-asian käsittelyyn rakennuslautakunnassa.
