The court modified the Unemployment Security Board's decision to grant unemployment benefits to a part-time waitress seeking employment. The applicant's three-year-old child had severe recurrent respiratory issues, necessitating daily care split between the applicant and spouse. The board restricted the applicant's work availability to evenings, deeming this insufficient for market conditions, but the court found the childcare arrangement did not exclude the applicant from the labor market. Consequently, the court ruled that the applicant remained available for work and approved the unemployment benefit claim.

Iltaisin osapäivätyötä tekevän kassatarjoilija-työnhakijan 3-vuotiaan lapsen kotihoito oli välttämätöntä, koska lapsella oli poikkeuksellisen voimakas taipumus uusiutuviin hengitystietulehduksiin. Kotihoito oli järjestetty niin, että työnhakija hoiti lasta päivisin ja puoliso iltaisin. Työnhakijan ei kieltäytyessään klo 6.00 19.30 tehtävästä kaksivuoro työstä ja ilmoittaessaan haluavansa vain iltatyötä katsottu lapsen terveydelliset seikat huomioon ottaen asettaneen työnhaulleen sellaisia rajoituksia, jotka estävät työn vastaanottamisen työmarkkinoilla yleisesti noudatettavin ehdoin. Työnhakijan katsottiin olevan työmarkkinoiden käytettävissä ja hänelle myönnettiin oikeus työttömyyspäivärahaan. Työttömyysturvalautakunnan päätöstä muutettiin. (Äänestys 4-1) I-jaosto
