The Administrative Court upheld a 12,240 mark fine imposed on a vehicle owner for overloading by 7,170 kg. Although the carrier had recorded a false weight of 23,950 kg on the bill of lading, the court found the actual weight was 48,340 kg. The court ruled that the carrier's erroneous declaration did not absolve the vehicle owner of liability for the statutory overloading penalty.

ilmoittama virheellinen tieto kuorman painosta

ei vapauttanut ajoneuvon omistajaa ylikuormamaksusta.
