The Supreme Court of Finland dismissed the applicant's claim for state compensation regarding criminal trial costs incurred at the district court. The applicant argued that the state should cover these expenses, but the court found no legal basis for such compensation in this context. Consequently, the request for reimbursement was rejected as the statutory conditions for state liability were not met.
