The Administrative Court upheld the Communications Authority's decision requiring Itella Oyj to deliver mail to individual lockboxes in apartment buildings. The Authority ruled that unless residents and the building owner agree to a different method, the Postal Act mandates lockbox delivery. The court found the statutory language clear and rejected the postal operator's argument for continued traditional delivery methods.

Oikeuskysymyksenä asiassa oli, onko Itella Oyj:n jaettava kirjelähetykset kerrostaloissa asuville postinsaajille asiakaskohtaisena jakeluna oviluukkuihin, ellei taloissa asuvien postin saajien kanssa ole toisin sovittu.

Viestintävirasto oli päättänyt Pohjois-Suomen opiskelija-asuntosäätiön (PSOAS) ratkaisupyynnön johdosta, että Suomen Posti Oyj:n (nykyisin Itella Oyj) on jaettava kirjelähetykset PSOAS:n omistamissa kerrostaloissa asuville postinsaajille asiakaskohtaisena jakeluna oviluukkuihin, ellei taloissa asuvien postinsaajien ja/tai PSOAS:n kanssa ole toisin sovittu. Viestintävirasto perusteli päätöstään postipalvelulain 12 §:n 1 momentin säännöksellä.

Itella Oyj:n näkemyksen mukaan liikennevaliokunnan mietintö (LiVM 13/2000 vp) puoltaa sellaista tulkintaa, joka antaa postiyritykselle oikeuden jatkaa vanhoissa kerrostaloissa niissä jo aloitettua muuta rakennukseen tapahtuvaa jakelua kuin luukkujakelua.
