Legislator summary

The Supreme Administrative Court determined that the applicant's home municipality was Kunta A, not Kunta B, despite the applicant's claim. The court found a fixed connection to Kunta A based on the shared family home and the wife's employment, alongside the applicant's continued part-time work there. Consequently, the court rejected the applicant's argument that spending seven months a year in Kunta B established it as the home municipality.

Henkilöllä oli asunto kahdessa kunnassa. Kunnassa A hänellä oli puolisonsa kanssa yhteinen koti. Hänen puolisollaan oli kunnassa työpaikka, ja hän itsekin, osa-aikaeläkkeelle jäätyään, edelleen työskenteli tuossa kunnassa. Tähän nähden hänellä katsottiin perhesuhteidensa ja toimeentulonsa johdosta olleen kiinteä yhteys sinne eikä kuntaan B, jossa hän ilmoituksensa mukaan vietti kaiken vapaa-aikansa, 7 kuukautta vuodessa. Henkilön kotikunnaksi katsottiin sen vuoksi kunta A eikä kuntaa B, jota hän itse piti kotikuntanaan.
