The Supreme Court of Finland allowed a claim for compensation regarding the loss of natural power output from the Kyron River. The applicant argued that the river's special protection status mandated full compensation for the diminished hydroelectric capacity. The court ruled that the statutory framework for special protection necessitates such compensation to balance environmental safeguards with economic losses.
