The Supreme Court of Finland dismissed the appeal against the Land Surveyors' Board's decision regarding a conflict of interest. The appellant, a land surveyor, owned shares in a cooperative that held the land in question, while the opposing party argued this created an unavoidable bias. The court ruled that mere share ownership in a cooperative holding the land did not constitute a direct personal interest in the specific administrative decision, thus no conflict existed.
