The Administrative Court of Finland dismissed the applicant's appeals against the Regional Board's decision to grant environmental and water law permits for peat production. Although the applicant had withdrawn the original application, the court noted that the Board's decision was legally flawed because it was issued without a valid application. Consequently, the court held that no further examination of the unwithdrawn complaints was necessary.

Aluehallintovirasto oli myöntänyt luvan hakijalle ympäristönsuojelulain (86/2000) mukaisen ympäristöluvan turvetuotantoon sekä hankkeeseen liittyen vesilain (264/1961) 1 luvun 17 a §:n mukaisen poikkeuksen ja 10 luvun 6 §:n mukaisen oikeuden.

Lausuminen raukesi kahden valituksen osalta valitusten peruuttamisen vuoksi. Muilta osin hallinto-oikeus kumosi ja poisti aluehallintoviraston päätöksen, koska luvan hakija oli peruuttanut hakemuksensa. Koska aluehallintoviraston päätös oli edellä esitetyin perustein kumottava, asiassa esitetyistä valituksista ja vaatimuksista ei ollut tarpeen lausua enemmälti siltäkään osin, kuin valituksia ja vaatimuksia ei ollut peruutettu.
