Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court of Finland dismissed the appellant's appeal against the termination of their right to receive information regarding criminal proceedings. The appellant argued that the termination violated their rights under the Act on the Right to Information on Criminal Proceedings, while the prosecution contended that the proceedings had concluded without a conviction.
