Ratkaistavana oli kysymys, onko yksityisen lastensuojelulaitoksen johtajalla valitusoikeus sosiaalilautakunnan päätöksestä, jolla laitoksessa olevan lapsen sijaishuoltoa muutetaan.
Hallinto-oikeus ei tutkinut Y:n valitusta. Huostaanotetun lapsen sijaishuolto oli järjestetty X:n Perhekoti Oy -nimisessä yksityisessä lastensuojelulaitoksessa. Y:llä ei tämän laitoksen edustajana ollut oikeutta hakea muutosta lautakunnan päätökseen.
