The court dismissed the appeal against a conviction for conspiracy, ruling that the employer's actions constituted a criminal offense. The employer, holding a trade name, illegally permitted union dues collected from employees to be used for the business's own expenses instead of being paid to the union as required by the collective agreement. The court determined that this unauthorized diversion of funds, intended to provide the employer with a financial advantage, fulfilled the elements of conspiracy under the Penal Code.

A oli toiminimen haltijana perinyt alalla sovelletun työehtosopimuksen nojalla toiminimen työntekijöiden palkoista näiden suostumuksella ammattiyhdistysjäsenmaksuja. Työehtosopimuksen mukaan jäsenmaksut olisi tullut tilittää liitolle palkanmaksukausittain. Koska A oli, hankkiakseen itselleen taloudellista etua, oikeudettomasti sallinut jäsenmaksujen käyttämisen toiminimen omien menojen suorittamiseen ja siten anastustarkoituksessa aiheuttanut jäsenmaksujen osalta tilitysvelvollisuuden täyttämättä jättämisen, A:n on katsottu menettelyllään syyllistyneen kavallukseen.
