Legislator summary

AI generated

The Administrative Court of Helsinki dismissed the appeal regarding the jurisdiction of the Foreign Affairs Agency's New York office. The appellant argued that the office should be treated as a nationwide authority under Section 12(2) of the Administrative Procedure Act, thereby requiring the appeal to be heard in Kuopio. The court held that the foreign office does not meet the statutory definition of a nationwide authority, so the appeal correctly belongs to Helsinki where the Ministry is located.

Henkilö, jonka kotipaikka oli Kuopion hallinto-oikeuden

tuomiopiirin alueella, valitti saamansa muutoksenhakuohjauksen

mukaisesti Helsingin hallinto-oikeuteen Suomen

New Yorkissa olevan edustuston avustusasiassa tekemästä

päätöksestä. Valituksen johdosta tehdyssä päätöksessä katsottiin,

ettei ulkoasiainhallinnon organisaation kuuluvaa

ulkomaan edustustoa ole pidettävä hallintolainkäyttölain

12 §:n 2 momentissa (433/1999) tarkoitettuna viranomaisena,

jonka toimialueena on koko maa. Tämän vuoksi valitus on

tullut tehdä hallintolainkäyttölain 12 §:n 1 momentin mukaisesti

Helsingin hallinto-oikeudelle, jonka tuomiopiirissä

ulkoasiainhallinnon viranomaisten päätoimipaikka eli

ulkoasiainministeriö sijaitsee.

Hallintolainkäyttölaki 12 §

KHO:n päätös 12.6.2001 taltionumero 1413. Päätöksen lopputulosta

ei muuteta. Päätös on tallennettu oikeustapausrekisteriin
