Supreme Court dismissed appeal where new facts emerged only in respondent's answer to lower court ruling.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court of Finland dismissed the respondent's appeal against the lower court's decision. The core issue was that a crucial fact supporting the appeal had only become apparent after the respondent submitted their written answer to the lower court's ruling. The court held that the lower court was not bound by the respondent's answer and could disregard the new fact, thereby rejecting the respondent's claim for a new trial based on that discovery.
