The court dismissed the management company's claims for damages arising from the termination of its contract with the independent director. The director argued that the Termination of Employment Act (TSL) did not apply because their relationship was governed by a management contract rather than a standard employment relationship. The court ruled that the specific nature of the management contract excluded the application of TSL provisions regarding termination and delayed interest.

Asunto-osakeyhtiön isännöitsijällä, joka on yhtiön hallituksen jäsen, on sellainen itsenäinen asema, ettei hänen ja yhtiön välillä tehtyyn toimisopimukseen ollut sovellettava TSL:a. Yhtiön irtisanottua isännöitsijän tehtävistään tämän sanotun lain määräysten vastaiseen irtisanomiseen ja työsuhteesta johtuvien saatavien viivästymiseen perustamat korvausvaatimukset hylättiin.
