X:n oli katsottu syyllistyneen vilpilliseen menettelyyn, kun hän oli tuonut matematiikan ylioppilaskokeeseen matkapuhelimen. Tämän seurauksena kaikki hänen koesuorituksensa kevään 2026 tutkintokerralta oli hylätty.

X vaati päätöksen kumoamista ja koesuoritusten hyväksymistä. Hän vetosi valituksessaan siihen, ettei ollut ottanut matkapuhelinta kokeeseen tahallaan eikä hän ollut yrittänyt käyttää sitä. X vetosi lisäksi seuraamusten kohtuuttomuuteen.
