The Insurance Court ruled that the police officer's knee injury sustained during an ice hockey match was a work-related accident. The court found the game was part of a mandatory physical education program designed to enhance fieldwork training for officers. Consequently, the injury was covered under the Finnish Insurance Act as it occurred in the course of duty.
