Legislator summary

AI generated

The Insurance Court ordered the State Office to compensate the applicant for one year of reduced income resulting from thesis delays. Although the applicant had not suffered a direct loss of earnings during the specific period of the crime, the court found that his academic studies were delayed by at least one year. Consequently, the court ruled that his potential earning opportunities were similarly delayed, justifying the compensation for the entire year.

A:lle, jolla oli ylemmän kandidaatin tutkintoa vastaava ammatillinen pätevyys ja joka parhaillaan valmisteli apurahan turvin väitöskirjaa, aiheutui rikoksen johdosta ainakin vuoden pituinen työkyvyttömyys. VakO katsoi, että vaikka A:lle ei ollut osoitettu aiheutuneen nimenomaan mainittuna aikana korvattavaa tulojen menetystä, olivat hänen väitöskirjansa valmistumiseen tähtäävät opinnot viivästyneet ainakin yhdellä vuodella ja näin ollen myös hänen mahdollisuutensa saada ansiotuloja olivat viivästyneet saman verran. Valtiokonttori määrättiin suorittamaan korvausta rikoksen johdosta aiheutuneen opintojen viivästymisen aiheuttamasta tulojen vähentymisestä vaaditulta yhden vuoden ajalta. Valtiokonttorin päätöstä muutettiin. I-jaosto
