Rikosasian asianomistaja, jolle käräjäoikeudessa oli tuomittu korvausta ja joka ei ollut hakenut muutosta käräjäoikeuden ratkaisuun, vaati hovioikeuden pääkäsittelyssä oikeudenkäynnin aikana tapahtuneen olosuhteiden muutoksen vuoksi korvauksen korottamista. Hovioikeus tutki vaatimuksen ja korotti korvausta. Korkein oikeus poisti tätä koskevan lausuman ja jätti korotusvaatimuksen tutkimatta.
