Finland (FI)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court of Finland dismissed the appeal because the Court of Appeal based its ruling on a fact that neither party had argued. The lower court found a payment obligation based on a guarantee without the parties addressing this specific ground. The court held that a judgment must be based on facts and arguments actually presented by the parties to ensure procedural fairness.
