Legislator summary

AI generated

The Court of Appeal dismissed the charge against the hotel owner for violating the peace of dwelling by failing to eject guests from a public sauna. The prosecution argued that the sauna, attached to the hotel, constituted a dwelling under the Criminal Code, but the court held it was merely a public facility for guests. Consequently, the owner's duty to remove guests did not trigger the specific elements required for a peace of dwelling offense.

Hotellin yhteydessä olevaa saunaa pukuhuoneineen, joka oli tarkoitettu yleisön tilauksesta käytettäväksi, ei voitu pitää sellaisena hotellinpitäjän tai tämän edustajan rikoslain 24 luvun 1 §:n 1 momentissa tarkoitettuna asuntona, että näiden vain tuossa ominaisuudessaan antaman poistumiskäskyn rikkominen toteuttaisi kotirauhan rikkomisen tunnusmerkistön.
