The Supreme Administrative Court quashed the Product Supervision Centre's refusal of an alcohol license for an erotic restaurant. The Centre had denied the license because the restaurant's concept allegedly failed the suitability requirement of Section 21(3) of the Alcohol Act. The Court ruled that this suitability requirement only justifies denial if the purpose is to prevent harms listed in Section 1 by regulating consumption, which was not the case here.

Sosiaali- ja terveydenhuollon tuotevalvontakeskus hylkäsi erotiikkaravintolan kaikkien alkoholijuomien anniskelulupaa koskevan hakemuksen sillä perusteella, ettei ravintola toiminta-ajatukseltaan täyttänyt alkoholilain 21 §:n 3 momentin mukaista asianmukaisuuden vaatimusta. KHO katsoi päätöksessään, että mainittu seikka on tarkoitussidonnaisuuden periaate huomioon ottaen anniskeluluvan epäämisen peruste ainoastaan silloin, kun tarkoituksena on alkoholin kulutusta ohjaamalla ehkäistä alkoholipitoisista aineista aiheutuvia lain 1 §:ssä lueteltuja haittoja. Tuotevalvontakeskuksen päätös kumottiin ja asia palautettiin uudelleen käsiteltäväksi.
