The Supreme Court of Finland ruled that the Court of Appeal failed in its duty to organize a main hearing in a robbery case. The prosecution argued that the lower court's summary proceedings were sufficient, but the court emphasized the need for a full trial in serious crimes. Consequently, the decision was overturned to mandate a proper main hearing to protect the defendant's rights.
