The Administrative Court dismissed the claim for delay interest calculated under the Delay Interest Act, ruling that public law debts are exempt from this statute. However, the court found that the salary owed to the trust body chairman was subject to delay interest based on the preceding Commercial Code provisions. Consequently, the claim was partially allowed to the extent it sought interest under the older Commercial Code rules.

Legislator headnote

Delay Interest Act s. 1; Commercial Code s. 9.10: While the Delay Interest Act does not apply to debts arising from public law, delay interest must still be paid on such debts if the preceding Commercial Code provisions mandate it.

Keskusvaalilautakunnan puheenjohtaja vaati kaupungin velvoittamista maksamaan viivästyskorkoa luottamustoimen hoitamisesta maksetuille puheenjohtajan vuosipalkkioille.

Hallinto-oikeus hylkäsi vaatimuksen korkolain mukaisen viivästyskoron maksamisesta, koska kysymys oli julkisoikeudellisesta perusteesta johtuvasta saatavasta, johon ei sovelleta korkolakia. Hallinto-oikeus katsoi kuitenkin, että luottamusmiespalkkioille oli maksettava korkolakia edeltäneen kauppakaaren 9 luvun 8 §:n mukaista viivästyskorkoa.

Hallintolainkäyttölaki 69 §

Korkolaki 1 § 2 mom 1 kohta
