The Administrative Court dismissed the municipality's request to dismiss its sole general legal aid worker for nine days due to economic and production reasons. The municipality argued that the dismissal was necessary given the single employee status, while the worker contested the legality of terminating a statutory duty holder. The court ruled that the statutory nature of the position and the lack of alternatives rendered the dismissal unlawful.

Oikeuskysymyksenä oli, voidaanko lakisääteistä tehtävää

hoitava kunnan yleinen oikeusavustaja lomauttaa. Kunnassa

oli vain yksi yleinen oikeusavustaja.

Kaupunginhallitus oli lomauttanut kunnan yleisen oikeusavustaja

J:n yhdeksäksi kalenteripäiväksi. Lomautus perustui

taloudellisiin ja tuotannollisiin syihin. Kaupunginhallitus

hylkäsi J:n oikaisuvaatimuksen.
