Supreme Court dismisses appeal regarding claim for litigation costs of a victim in a criminal case.

The Supreme Court of Finland dismissed the applicant's appeal against the lower court's decision to order the defendant to pay the victim's litigation costs. The applicant argued that the costs should be covered due to the defendant's conduct, but the court found no sufficient basis for such an order under the relevant procedural rules. Consequently, the decision to deny the cost claim was upheld as legally correct.
