The Insurance Court of Finland dismissed the applicant's claim against the Unemployment Security Board. The applicant provided contradictory information by telephone regarding the content of a job interview, which the court deemed insufficient evidence to prove the applicant caused the contract's non-conclusion through their own conduct. Consequently, the court reversed the Unemployment Security Board's decision, ruling that the applicant's procedural errors did not justify the denial of benefits.

Legislator headnote

Unemployment Security Act; Insurance Court Act: When an applicant provides inconsistent information regarding a job interview, the burden of proof for self-caused contract failure remains on the applicant, and contradictory testimony alone is insufficient to justify denying unemployment benefits.
