Metsästyslain 6 §:n 1 momentin määräys, että sopimus metsästysoikeuden vuokraamisesta on todistajain allekirjoitettava, on otettu lakiin todistelun helpottamiseksi. Toisen todistajan nimen puuttuminen sanotunlaisesta sopimuksesta ei tehnyt sopimusta pätemättömäksi.

KKO:n ratkaisu:

Päätös 30.11.1981 n:o 4759: Ei valituslupaa
