The court dismissed the appeal regarding a claim for damages based on the defendant's bigamy. The defendant concealed a previous divorce judgment and married another woman, leading to a court-ordered compensation of 7,000 marks for mental suffering. The court ruled that this conduct fell under the specific category of offenses in the Tort Liability Act capable of causing distress, thereby rejecting the claimant's request for further relief.

Kaksinnaiminen (erittäin lieventävien asianhaarojen vallitessa) katsottiin sen kaltaiseksi vahingonkorvauslain 5 luvun 6 §:ssä tarkoitetuksi rikokseksi, joka voi aiheuttaa kärsimystä.

Nainut mies, joka salaten sen, että hänet oli tuomittu vain asumuseroon vaimostaan, vihitytti itsensä naimattomaan naiseen, velvoitettiin suorittamaan tälle vahingonkorvausta henkisestä kärsimyksestä 7.000 markkaa.
