The Insurance Court of Finland reduced the insured woman's disability rating from 100% to 50% following a change in the Accident Board's decision. Although her asthma limited her ability to perform specific tasks like feeding cattle, the court noted that another person had taken over the farm work, preserving the farm's operations. The court determined that her work capacity was only partially impaired because she did not need to perform all duties alone.

Tilan (15 pelto-ha, 10 lehmää ja 32 nuorta karjaa) emäntä oli kesällä 1983 sairastunut keuhkoastmaan, joka rajoitti osallistumista karjanhoitotyöhön. Tilan toiminta oli pysynyt ennallaan, koska karjanhoitotyöhön oli osallistunut sen jälkeen toinen henkilö. Astmasairauden katsottiin alentaneen emännän työkykyä etenkin navettatyössä ja huomioon ottaen, että karjanhoitotyöhön oli osallistunut toinen henkilö, emännän työkyvyn alentuma oli arvioitava 50 %:ksi. Tapaturmalautakunnan päätöstä muutettiin. (Äänestys 4-1) III-jaosto
