The Supreme Court of Finland allowed a new water boundary proceeding to address fishing rights that were left unaddressed in a 1915 boundary determination. The applicant argued that the original 1915 proceeding failed to consider their claim for fishing rights in specific river sections, while the opposing party contended the matter was finally settled. The court ruled that the omission of these rights in the historical proceeding did not preclude a new proceeding to resolve the outstanding claim.
