The Court of Appeal returned the case to the District Court because the lower court failed to invite a second open company partner to act as a defendant. The plaintiff sued a driver who damaged a company car, but the District Court heard only the driver and the plaintiff without calling the other partner. The court ruled that the first instance judge erred by not providing the missing partner with the opportunity to participate as a defendant.

Avoimen yhtiön osakas A oli kuljettanut yhtiön omistamaa autoa varomattomasti siten, että ajoneuvo oli vaurioitunut. Kihlakunnanoikeudessa oli kuultu A:ta, paitsi syytettynä, myös avoimen yhtiön edustajana asianomistajana.

Koskei kihlakunnanoikeuden olisi tullut ratkaista juttua varaamatta avoimen yhtiön toiselle osakkaalle tilaisuutta tulla avoimen yhtiön edustajana asianomistajana kuulluksi, hovioikeus palautti jutun kihlakunnanoikeuteen.
