The Supreme Court of Finland dismissed the claim for work-related injury compensation regarding left foot pain. The plaintiff argued the pain resulted from work duties, but the court found no sufficient causal connection between the alleged work activities and the medical condition. Consequently, the claim was rejected because the injury could not be legally attributed to the employment relationship.
