Legislator summary

AI generated

The Administrative Court ruled that a home care contract termination notice must run for two full calendar months starting from the first day of the month following the notice date. The municipality terminated the contract on June 17, 2008, claiming the support ended July 31, 2008, but the court found this interpretation too narrow. Consequently, the court held that the support entitlement extended until August 31, 2008, ensuring the beneficiary received coverage for the full second calendar month.

Omaishoidon tuesta annetun lain mukaan kunta voi irtisanoa omaishoitosopimuksen päättymään aikaisintaan irtisanomista seuraavan kahden kuukauden kuluttua.

Kunta oli 17.6.2008 irtisanonut omaishoitosopimuksen päättymään 1.8.2008 eli sopimuksen viimeinen voimassaolopäivä oli 31.7.2008. Hallinto-oikeus katsoi, että lain sanamuotoa "irtisanomista seuraavan kahden kuukauden kuluttua", on tulkittava siten, että sopimus on aina voimassa kaksi täyttä kalenterikuukautta irtisanomista seuraavan kalenterikuukauden alusta lukien. Näin ollen X:llä oli oikeus saada sopimuksen mukainen omaishoidontuki kesäkuussa 2008 tapahtuneen irtisanomisen jälkeen 31.8.2008 asti.
