The Supreme Court of Finland ruled that the Court of Appeal was obligated to transfer the main criminal proceedings to the Court of First Instance. The appellant argued that the lower court's failure to initiate the main trial violated procedural rights regarding business suspension orders. The court decided that without transferring the main case, the suspension order could not be legally enforced, thereby mandating the transfer to complete the proceedings.
