The Finnish Insurance Court dismissed the claim for employer liability against a music band regarding an injury sustained by a member while commuting from home to a performance venue. The plaintiff argued the band acted as a collective employer under the employer liability act, while the defendant contended the trip was a private journey unrelated to employment duties. The court ruled that the commute from the member's residence to the performance location did not constitute a work-related journey under the relevant statutory interpretation.

Soitinyhtyeen johtaja oli sitoutunut yhtyeineen esittämään tanssimusiikkia erään yhdistyksen järjestämässä huvitilaisuudessa korvausta vastaan, joka oli tarkoitus jakaa tasan yhtyeiden jäsenten kesken sen jälkeen, kun kulut oli vähennetty. Matkalla kotipaikkakunnaltaan esiintymispaikkakunnalle eräs yhtyeen jäsenistä oli vahingoittunut liikenneonnettomuudessa. Yhtyeen katsottiin sitoutuneen yhteisesti työkuntana vastikkeesta suorittamaan työn yhdistyksen johdon ja valvonnan alaisena ja yhtyeen jäsentä kohdanneen tapaturman sattuneen työstä johtuvissa olosuhteissa tehdyllä matkalla asunnosta työpaikalle.
