Supreme Court rules that a new landowner must allow existing utility pipes on their land if no official easement was granted.

The Supreme Court of Finland ruled that the new owner of Plot B must permit the use of existing water and sewage pipes located on their property. Although no formal easement was established during the administrative process, the court found that the pipes were lawfully situated on the land prior to the ownership change. Consequently, the court held that the new owner cannot refuse access based on the lack of a registered right, as the physical existence of the infrastructure creates an implied obligation to maintain it.
