The Supreme Court allowed the appellant's appeal against the District Court's dismissal of a claim for partial payment under the Installment Sales Act. Although the District Court found no costs for the finance company regarding the car's return, it still dismissed the claim without removing the finance company's benefits from the payment. The Court ruled that the lower court erred in its procedural handling and failed to properly address the statutory requirements for such claims.

Käräjäoikeus oli takaisinsaantia osamaksukauppalain nojalla tehtyyn tilitykseen koskevassa asiassa perusteluissaan katsonut, ettei rahoitusyhtiölle ollut aiheutunut kustannuksia auton takaisinotosta.
