The Administrative Court of Finland quashed a municipal council decision regarding the distribution of private road maintenance grants. Two council members were found to be disqualified because one was a shareholder in the private road owners' association and the other was the son of a shareholder. The court ruled that this conflict of interest violated the requirement for impartial decision-making, rendering the procedural order invalid.

Kunnan varoista maksettavien yksityisteiden kunnossapitoavustusten

jakamisesta päättävän lautakunnan kaksi jäsentä

olivat esteellisiä osallistumaan päätöksentekoon käsiteltäessä

avustusten jakamista koskevaa asiaa, kun toinen heistä

ja toisen poika olivat avustusta saaneiden yksityisteiden

osakkaita. Hallinto-oikeus kumosi sanotun päätöksen virheellisessä

järjestyksessä syntyneenä.
