The Administrative Court ruled that the Administrative Procedure Act does not apply to the University of Kuopio's student council when selecting student members. The court found the council is not a public authority under the Act, yet the selection process must still adhere to good administration principles under the Constitution. Consequently, the decision was upheld based on the distinction between statutory procedural requirements and constitutional good governance standards.

Hallinto-oikeudessa oli ratkaistavana kysymys, sovelletaanko hallintomenettelylain esteellisyyttä koskevia säännöksiä yliopiston ylioppilaskunnan edustajistoon sen valitessa opiskelijajäseniä yliopiston hallintoon.

Kuopion yliopiston ylioppilaskunnan edustajiston ei katsottu olevan sellainen hallintomenettelylain 3 §:n 1 momentissa tarkoitettu viranomainen, johon tätä lakia ja sen esteellisyyttä koskevia säännöksiä voitaisiin soveltaa. Yliopiston hallintoon valittavien opiskelijajäsenten valinnan katsottiin kuitenkin olevan sellaista julkisen vallan käyttöä, että asiassa oli toimittava siten, että Suomen perustuslaissa viitatut hyvän hallinnon vaatimukset täyttyvät.
