Legislator summary

AI generated

The court ruled that the lawyer was entitled to compensation for using their own vehicle on a trip from Hämeenlinna to Riihimäke. The material facts show the lawyer argued this method was more cost-effective for the state than using public transport, considering the time-based compensation. The court decided in favor of the claim because the private vehicle usage resulted in a net financial saving for the state compared to standard public transport options.

Asianajaja L:lla oli oikeus saada korvaus oman auton käytöstä Hämeenlinnasta Riihimäelle tekemältään asianajomatkalta, koska tämä matkustustapa käsiteltävänä olevassa tapauksessa, huomioon ottaen ajanhukasta suoritettava korvaus, oli valtiolle edullisempi kuin yleisiä kulkuneuvoja käyttäen suoritettu matka. (Täysistunto. Ään.)
