Supreme Court allows appeal on new evidence and corrects debt restructuring procedure for creditor non-hearing.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court of Finland allowed the appellant's right to submit additional evidence and arguments at the court of appeal beyond those presented at the district court. The lower court's procedure was deemed flawed because the proposed payment plan was finalized without hearing the creditor, violating procedural fairness. Consequently, the appeal was granted to address these procedural defects and the exclusion of relevant evidence.
