Supreme Court dismissed claim for state reimbursement of witness examination costs due to lack of legal basis.

The Supreme Court of Finland dismissed the applicant's claim for reimbursement of costs incurred during witness examinations against the state. The applicant argued that these expenses should be covered under general administrative principles, while the state contended no specific statutory provision mandated such reimbursement. The court ruled that without an explicit legal basis in the relevant statutes, the state is not obligated to bear these specific litigation costs.
