The Insurance Court of Finland dismissed the claim that a 62-year-old deputy section chief with diabetes and heart conditions was subjected to excessive work. The plaintiff argued his health deteriorated due to workload, while the insurer contended his duties were within normal limits. The court ruled that the evidence did not establish a causal link between the work and his medical decline.
