The Supreme Administrative Court dismissed the owners of Plot A's request to establish a construction law easement to maintain water and sewer pipes on Plot B. Although the pipes were originally installed legally in 1961 and later renewed, no easement was formally established when the plots were separated in 1979 or 1984. The court ruled that the lack of a formal easement registration at the time of division precluded the current owners from claiming the right to use the land for the pipes.

Tontin A omistajat hakivat rakennuslain 133 §:n mukaista oikeutta omistamaansa tonttia palvelevien vesi- ja viemärijohtojen pysyttämiseksi nykyisellä paikallaan tontin B alueella. Alueen aiempi omistaja oli vuonna 1961 sijoittanut johdot laillisesti paikalle tonttien ollessa samaa kiinteistöä. Tonttien muodostamisen yhteydessä vuosina 1979 ja 1984 tai myöhemminkään ei ollut perustettu kiinteistörasitetta. Johdot oli uusittu vuonna 1985, kun ne olivat vaurioituneet tontilla B suoritettujen rakennustöiden yhteydessä. Tämän jälkeen sekä tontin A että tontin B omistajat olivat vaihtuneet. Kauppakirjassa, jolla tontin B omistajat olivat vuonna 1988 ostaneet tontin, oli maininta johdoista ja niiden likimääräisestä sijainnista. Tontin A omistajat eivät olleet hakemansa oikeuden tarpeessa.
