Legislator summary

AI generated

The administrative court dismissed B Oy's appeal against an environmental permit granted to A Oy because it was filed on grounds other than those specified in Section 97 of the Environmental Protection Act. Although the court acknowledged A Oy's right to recover litigation costs, it deemed it unreasonable for A Oy to bear these expenses as damages in the specific circumstances. Consequently, the appeal was rejected for lack of standing, and B Oy was ordered to pay A Oy's legal fees.

B Oy oli valittanut hallinto-oikeuteen A Oy:n saamasta ympäristöluvasta vedoten kilpailuoikeudellisiin seikkoihin. Valitus oli siten tehty muulla kuin ympäristönsuojelulain 97 §:n mukaisella perusteella. Puuttuvan valitusoikeuden johdosta hallinto-oikeus jätti B Oy:n valituksen tutkimatta.

Hallinto-oikeus velvoitti B Oy:n korvaamaan A Oy:n valituksen johdosta antamasta vastineesta aiheutuneet oikeudenkäyntikulut vaatimuksen mukaan. Selostetuissa olosuhteissa oli pidettävä kohtuuttomana, että A Oy joutuisi pitämään sanotut oikeudenkäyntikulunsa vahinkonaan.
