The Court of Appeal in Vaasa ruled that a hunting ban imposed under the Forest Act begins on the date the decision acquires legal force, rather than the original sentencing date. The appellant argued for an earlier start date, but the court rejected this, noting that the minority judge had already dismissed the underlying charge. Consequently, the court upheld the original timeline for the ban's commencement based on the principle of legal force.

Kihlakunnanoikeus oli tuomitessaan vastaajan yksin teoin tehdyistä luvattomasta metsästyksestä ja luvattomasta hirven tappamisesta rangaistukseen samalla metsästylain 64 §:n 5 momentin nojalla määrännyt vastaajan metsästyskieltoon, joka päättyi määrättynä kalenteripäivänä.

Hovioikeus määräsi metsästyskiellon ajankohdan alkamaan siitä, kun hovioikeuden päätös oli saanut lainvoiman. Muutosta haki vain vastaaja. (Ään.)

Vähemmistöön jäänyt jäsen hylkäsi syytteen, joten erimielisyys ei koske metsästyskiellon alkamisajankohtaa.
