Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Administrative Court dismissed the appeal against the City Council's decision to terminate an official's employment. The City Council argued that the official's conduct justified dismissal under the municipal ordinance, but the Court found no statutory cause permitted such action. Consequently, the Court ruled that the Council was legally barred from terminating the official without a specific statutory ground.

Kun hallitusmuodon 15 §:n 3 momentin mukaan ketään ei saa erottaa työstä ilman lakiin perustuvaa syytä, olisi kunnanhallituksen tullut hallitusmuodon 92 §:n 2 momentin nojalla jättää virkasäännön 13 §:n 2 momentin 3 kohta soveltamatta. Kunnanhallitus ei siten voinut irtisanoa viranhaltijaa virkasäännön perusteella.
