The Supreme Court of Finland allowed the appeal regarding the division of guardianship tasks. The lower court had ruled that parents must decide jointly on the child's residence if one intends to move abroad with the child. The court found the lower court's interpretation of the Guardianship Act's provisions on joint decision-making to be correct and in the child's best interest. Consequently, the decision requiring joint parental consent for international relocation was upheld.
