The court dismissed the prosecution against a bar owner who sold off-premises beer in violation of the company's internal rules. Although the defendant ignored the Alko Group's management board decision prohibiting such sales, the charge was rejected because it lacked a basis in national law. The court held that violating internal corporate directives does not constitute a criminal offense under the Beer Act.

A oli myynyt baaristaan asiakkaille keskiolutta poisvietäväksi, vaikka se oli Oy Alko Ab:n hallintoneuvoston tekemän, keskiolutasetuksen 14 §:ssä tarkoitetun päätöksen mukaan kiellettyä.

Koska A oli rikkonut ainoastaan yhtiön antamia määräyksiä, häntä vastaan jatketusta keskiolutlain rikkomisesta ajettu syyte hylättiin lakiin perustumattomana.
