The Supreme Administrative Court upheld the lower court's decision to reject the election appeal filed by a member of a municipal union. The appellant argued that their role as a finance officer did not equate to a leading position within the union's member municipalities. The court determined that the specific administrative structure and limited financial responsibilities of the finance officer did not meet the statutory threshold for a leading or equivalent responsible position required for disqualification.

Kuntayhtymän tehtävänä oli ylläpitää kahta keskiasteen ruotsinkielistä ammattioppilaitosta. Kuntayhtymän talouspäällikön tehtävänä oli esitellä talousasiat kuntayhtymän hallitukselle. Kun otettiin huomioon sivistystoimen hallinnollinen järjestely kysymyksessä olevassa kaupungissa, kuntayhtymän tehtävät kuntayhtymän kahden ammattioppilaitoksen osalta ja talouspäällikön vastuun rajoittuminen talousasioihin, talouspäällikkö ei ollut asemaltaan rinnastettavissa kuntayhtymän jäsenenä olevan kaupunginhallituksen tai lautakunnan tehtäväalueen johtavassa tehtävässä eikä sellaiseen rinnastettavassa vastuullisessa tehtävässä toimivaan kunnan palveluksessa olevaan henkilöön. Korkein hallinto-oikeus pysytti kunnan jäsenen valituksen hylkäävän lääninoikeuden päätöksen lopputuloksen.
