Legislator summary

AI generated

The court ordered the railway station master to compensate the railway administration for 1,090 marks and interest after he left his post for 15 minutes and failed to secure the cash box. The master argued the absence was minor, but the court found the failure to lock and guard the box constituted a breach of duty. Consequently, the compensation claim was upheld as the negligence directly caused the loss of funds.

Valtionrautateiden asemamies oli poistunut 15 minuutiksi junavaihteelle ja jättänyt sekä aseman toimistohuoneen takaoven että toimistohuoneessa näkyvällä paikalla olleen kassalaatikon lukitsematta ja vartioimatta, jolloin kassalaatikossa olleet 1.090 markkaa olivat kadonneet. Asemamiehen tuottamusta ei katsottu lieväksi ja hänet velvoitettiin korvaamaan rautatiehallitukselle sanottu määrä korkoineen.
