The Mark- och miljööverdomstolen dismissed the appeal regarding a construction penalty fine imposed on a person who used an elevator without a valid inspection report. The appellant argued that the lack of access to the inspection protocol, which noted the elevator's unfitness for use, rendered the fine collection unfair and necessitated a reduction. The court rejected this claim, ruling that the procedural failure to share the report did not constitute a legal ground to lower the statutory penalty or deem the collection unjust.

En personhiss har använts utan att det funnits ett godkänt besiktningsprotokoll. Att den ansvarige inte har fått del av protokollet - där det angavs att hissen inte fick användas - har inte inneburit att det varit oskäligt att ta ut byggsanktionsavgift eller att det funnits skäl att sätta ned avgiften.
