The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal regarding a bank's claim for payment against guarantors of an insolvent company. The bank argued the claim was valid, while the guarantors contended the statute of limitations had expired. The court held that the claim was clearly unfounded due to the passage of time and ruled the case could not be decided on written preparation alone.

Kysymys siitä, oliko kanne takauksen vanhentumisen vuoksi selvästi perusteeton, ja siitä, voitiinko asia ratkaista kirjallisessa valmistelussa.
