The Supreme Court of Finland dismissed the appeal challenging the eligibility of a court member appointed to the Administrative Court. The appellant argued that the member's prior involvement in a related administrative dispute created an unavoidable conflict of interest under the Administrative Court Act. The court held that the specific circumstances did not meet the strict statutory threshold for disqualification, as the member had no direct stake in the current proceedings.
