Legislator summary

AI generated

The Administrative Court of Finland dismissed the water authority's request to investigate compensation for damages occurring before a water usage permit was granted. The authority argued for compensation under Section 8(2) of Chapter 11 of the Water Act, but the claimant had never formally demanded such compensation prior to the permit application. The court ruled that without a prior demand, the water authority lacks the legal basis to initiate an ex officio investigation into these damages.

Kun vahingonkärsijä ei ollut tehnyt luvanhakijaan kohdistuvaa,

vesilain 11 luvun 8 §:n 2 momentissa tarkoitettua vaatimusta

lupaa edeltävien vahinkojen korvaamisesta, vesioikeus ei saanut

ottaa sellaista korvauskysymystä viran puolesta tutkittavakseen.

Vesioikeuden päätöksestä poistettiin sitä koskeva

ratkaisuosa.
