The Supreme Administrative Court returned the case to the regional administrative board for reconsideration. The applicant sought a license to sell home-distilled spirits containing up to 4.7% ethanol, arguing that a prior debt restructuring did not disqualify them. The court held that the regional board erred by rejecting the license solely based on the loss of reliability stemming from the debt arrangement.

Lääninhallitus ei voinut hylätä lupaa sillä perusteella, että myönnetyn velkajärjestelyn vuoksi A olisi menettänyt tuohon toimintaan tarvittavat edellytykset ja vaadittavan luotettavuuden.
