The Mark- och miljööverdomstolen dismissed the applicant's appeal regarding the lack of a formal order for an environmental investigation on a neighboring property. The applicant argued that the investigation into pollution and its temporal link to drainage was insufficient to compel the neighbor to conduct a technical survey. The court ruled that the existing evidence did not meet the threshold required to establish a probable cause for such an administrative order.
