The applicant, receiving unemployment benefits, lost eligibility for both unemployment benefits and student aid after a legislative change on September 1, 1993. The County Administrative Court dismissed the claim for social assistance, ruling that study-related costs could not be funded as a last resort. A minority of judges disagreed, arguing the applicant should receive social assistance under the Social Welfare Act despite the loss of primary support sources.

Hakija oli työttömyyspäivärahalla ollessaan aloittanut

iltaopiskelun kolmivuotisella liiketaloudellisella opintolinjalla.

Lainmuutoksen seurauksena hänen oikeutensa työttömyyspäivärahaan

lakkasi 1.9.1993 eikä hän iltaopiskelijana

ollut oikeutettu myöskään opintotukeen.

Lääninoikeus katsoi, ettei valittajalla ollut oikeutta

toimeentulotukeen, koska toimeentulotuella viimesijaisena

tukimuotona ei voida rahoittaa opiskelusta johtuvia kustannuksia.

Äänestys 2-1. Vähemmistöön jäänyt jäsen katsoi, että

ensisijaisten tukimuotojen ulkopuolelle jääneellä valittajalla

on näissä olosuhteissa oikeus saada toimeentuloaan

varten viimesijaisena tukimuotona toimeentulotukea.
