Legislator summary

AI generated

The Finnish Insurance Court dismissed a claim for compensation for criminal damage filed over two years after the statutory limitation period expired. Although the claimant argued that delays in enforcement proceedings constituted a special reason for the late filing, the court found the claim was not submitted in a reasonable time after the enforcement actions stalled. Consequently, the court ruled that administrative delays did not justify extending the two-year limitation period for criminal damage compensation claims.

Alioikeuden päätös 5.8.1980 tapahtuneen murhan johdosta annettiin 3.8.1981. Tapaturmavirastolle 4.5.1983 tehdyn korvaushakemuksen esitettiin viivästyneen tuloksettomien ulosottotoimenpiteiden takia. VAKO katsoi tuomioistuinkäsittelyn viivästymisen olleen sellainen erityinen syy, jonka perusteella korvausta voidaan hakea rikosvahinkojen korvaamisesta valtion varoista annetun lain 15 §:ssä säädettyä kahden vuoden määräaikaa myöhemmin. Korvaushakemusta ei kuitenkaan tämänkään huomioon ottaen ollut tehdy kohtuullisessa ajassa tuomioistuimen päätöksen jälkeen eikä ulosottotoimenpiteiden viivästymistä ollut pidettävä erityisenä syynä.
