Kaupunginhallituksen jaosto oli hylännyt L:n hakemuksen kunnallisverosta vapauttamisesta. Jaoston hakemukseen antama päätös olisi, kun otettiin huomioon päätöksen sisältö ja sen tosiasialliset vaikutukset, tullut antaa L:lle tiedoksi tiedoksiannosta hallintoasioissa annetun lain 8 §:n mukaisesti. Näin ei ollut menetelty, vaan jaoston päätöksen sisältävä pöytäkirja oli ainoastaan pidetty yleisesti nähtävänä. Lääninoikeus katsoi, ettei päätös ollut saavuttanut lainvoimaa ja tutki lääninoikeudelle 45 päivän kuluttua nähtäville asettamisesta saapuneen L:n valituksen.
