The Supreme Court dismissed the applicant's claim for state compensation regarding an unlawful detention. Although the lower court relied on police records obtained ex officio to reject the claim, the Supreme Court found these records irrelevant to the core issue of whether the applicant received a fair trial. The court ruled that the existence of such records did not alter the legal assessment of the applicant's rights under the Act on State Liability for Damages.

A oli pidätetty epäiltynä pahoinpitelyrikoksesta. Sittemmin hänet tuomittiin pahoinpitelystä sakkorangaistukseen. A vaati valtiolle korvausta sillä perusteella, että hänen pidättämiseensä ei ollut laillisia edellytyksiä. Käräjäoikeus hankki omasta aloitteestaan A:ta koskevan rikosrekisterin otteen, josta ilmeneviin tietoihin käräjäoikeus osin perusti kanteen hylkäävän ratkaisunsa. Hovioikeus katsoi, ettei rikosrekisteristä ilmenevillä tiedoilla ollut olennaista merkitystä harkittaessa sitä, oliko A:lla oikeus korvaukseen. Kysymys siitä, oliko A saanut hyväkseen oikeudenmukaisen käsittelyn.
