Legislator summary

AI generated

The court ruled that a report submitted by a doctor member of the insurance court during closed negotiations is inadmissible for the parties. The proceedings were conducted entirely in secret under Article 1 of Chapter 7 of the Code of Civil Procedure, meaning no information from these discussions could be disclosed even with official permission. The court held that the written form of the doctor's opinion did not alter the confidentiality status, thereby denying the parties access to the court file entries containing these reports.

VakO:n käsittelymuistioon merkitty vakuutusoikeuden lääkärin oikeuden jäsenenä antama lausunto on osa oikeudenkäymiskaaren 1 luvun 7 §:ssä tarkoitettua kokonaan salassa pidettävää neuvottelua. Siitä, mitä tuomioistuimen jäsen asianosaisten ja yleisön läsnä olematta käydyssä neuvottelussa on lausunut, ei ollut oikeutta saada tietoja edes viranomaisen luvalla. Se, että neuvotteluun kuuluva kannanotto oli ilmaistu kirjallisessa muodossa, ei ollut asian arvostelun kannalta ratkaisevaa. Mainituilla perusteilla asianosaisella ei ollut oikeutta saada tietoa käsittelymuistioihin merkityistä vakuutusoikeuden lääkärien lausunnoista.
