The Finnish Insurance Court dismissed the applicant's claim that a 60-year-old school principal with chronic lower back pain was unfit for work. The applicant argued that thirty years of leadership duties made the position physically demanding and incompatible with their condition. The court determined that the applicant's duties did not constitute a heavy workload under the relevant regulations, thereby rejecting the unfitness assertion.
