Supreme Court allows fee for legal aid under 87/1973 law when case is not frivolous.

The Supreme Court of Finland allowed the claim for a fee under the Legal Aid Act. The applicant argued that the court should pay the fee for the legal aid lawyer, while the opposing party contended the case lacked merit. The court ruled that the fee is payable because the case was not frivolous and the applicant had a legitimate interest in the proceedings.
