The Supreme Court ruled that the borrower's debt obligation survived the rescission of the holiday share purchase contract. Although the contract was voided due to the buyer's request, the bank had already advanced the loan funds based on documents provided by the seller. The court determined that the loan obligation was independent of the underlying sales contract and therefore remained enforceable against the buyer.

A oli ostanut loma-osakkeen. Kaupan yhteydessä hän oli myyjän luona täyttänyt pankilta otettavaa luottoa ja sen nostamista koskevat asiakirjat, jotka myyjä oli toimittanut pankille. Pankki oli myöntänyt luoton ja maksanut kauppahinnan myyjän tilille. Kauppaehtoihin oli katsottu sisältyneen purkuoikeus seitsemän päivän ajan ja A:n vaatimuksesta lomaosaketta koskeva kauppa oli toisessa oikeudenkäynnissä purettu. Kysymys siitä, oliko A:n velkasitoumus häntä sitova kaupan purkamisen jälkeen.
