Supreme Court allows appeal on delay interest calculation for court costs awarded at lower court level.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court of Finland allowed the appeal against the lower court's dismissal of the claim. The appellant argued that delay interest on court costs should be calculated from the date the costs were awarded by the lower court, rather than the date of the final judgment. The court held that since the lower court had already determined the amount of the costs, the delay interest must accrue from that specific determination date to ensure accurate compensation for the period of non-payment.
