The Administrative Court of Vaasa dismissed the joint appeal filed by a guardian and a 14-year-old child against the Social Board's decision on child custody. The Social Board denied free legal aid to the minor without considering the guardian's financial situation. The court upheld this decision, ruling that the guardian's economic circumstances must be evaluated when granting free legal aid to a minor under the relevant child protection law.
