The Insurance Court dismissed the claim for workplace injury compensation regarding a teacher's home-based exercise session. The plaintiff argued the injury occurred while preparing for the next day's work, but the court found the activity was not part of job duties and could have been performed at the workplace. Consequently, the court ruled the injury did not arise from work or work-related conditions, overturning the initial decision.

A oli X kunnan työntekijänä kotonaan vahingoittunut tapaturmaisesti harjoitellessaan jumppaohjelmaa. A oli ammatiltaan lastentarhanopettaja ja hän oli selvityksensä mukaan tapaturman sattuessa ollut suunnittelemassa ja harjoittelemassa jumppatuokiota seuraavan päivän toimintahetkeä varten. Tapaturma oli sattunut klo 20.30. Tapaturman ei katsottu sattuneen lastentarhanopettajan työssä eikä myöskään työstä johtuvissa olosuhteissa. Lastentarhanopettajan työtehtäviä ei voitu edellyttää tehtävän kotona, vaan A olisi voinut suorittaa ne myös työpaikallaan. Tapaturmalautakunnan päätös kumottiin.
