The Supreme Court of Finland dismissed the defendant's conviction for the crime of refusing civil service duty. Although the defendant was initially sentenced for refusing to perform civil service, he was subsequently medically exempted from performing the duty during peacetime. The court ruled that the statutory conditions for criminal liability were not met because the defendant was legally released from the obligation to serve.
