The administrative court dismissed the appeal against the municipal council's decision to close a case without further action regarding the technical committee chair's conduct. The council concluded there was no reason to suspect the official committed a crime or acted contrary to duties, and thus no reporting obligation existed under the Municipal Act. The court upheld this finding, ruling that the council correctly assessed the absence of grounds for suspicion and the lack of duty to report.

Kunnanhallitus oli saamiensa selvitysten perusteella päättänyt, ettei sen ole tarvetta ryhtyä teknisen lautakunnan puheenjohtajan toiminnasta tehdyn ilmoituksen johdosta jatkotoimenpiteisiin, sekä päättänyt merkitä ilmoituksen loppuun käsitellyksi. Hallinto-oikeus totesi kunnanhallituksen katsoneen, ettei asiassa ollut ilmennyt syytä epäillä, että teknisen lautakunnan puheenjohtaja on toimessaan syyllistynyt virkarikokseen tai muuten menetellyt siinä velvollisuuksiensa vastaisesti, eikä asiasta ollut tarvetta ilmoittaa valtuustolle. Kunnanhallitus oli niin ikään arvioinut, ettei kysymyksessä ollut kuntalain 85 §:n 2 momentissa tarkoitettu ilmeinen virkarikos ja ettei kunnanhallitus ollut velvollinen tekemään asiassa rikosilmoitusta.
