Legislator summary

AI generated

The Administrative Court of Uusimaa dismissed the applicant's appeal against the Social Board's rejection of child support. The Social Board denied support because the father failed to remit payments to Finland due to a Moscow currency crisis, not because he voluntarily defaulted. The court ruled that since the obligation to pay existed and the delay was caused by external financial restrictions rather than negligence, the statutory conditions for granting support were not met.

Elatusapumaksuja, jotka elatusvelvollinen oli maksanut

Moskovassa elatusapuja välittävän viranomaisen pankkitilille,

ei nykyisen Venäjän valuuttapulan vuoksi ollut voitu

tilittää lasten huoltajalle Suomessa. Sosiaalilautakunta

on hylännyt elatustukea koskevan hakemuksen.

Koska elatusvelvollinen ei ollut laiminlyönyt elatusavun

maksamista eikä suoritettujen elatusapumaksujen Suomeen välittämättä

jääminen ollut sellainen peruste, jonka nojalla

elatustuki olisi voitu myöntää, edellytyksiä elatustuen suorittamiseen

ei ollut. Lääninoikeus hylkäsi valituksen.
