Legislator summary

The Insurance Court of Finland modified the Pensions Board's decision regarding a worker's compensation claim for renovation work. The employer argued the work fell under the general liability act (TEL), while the court determined it constituted construction under the Construction Act (LEL). Consequently, the court allowed the claim based on the specific classification of the work as new building renovation.
