The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal concerning a soldier's failure to report for duty and subsequent request to postpone service start. The court found that the soldier's absence did not cause significant educational disruption or harm to the service, nor did it constitute an escape under the relevant criminal law section.

Varusmiespalvelustaan suorittamaan määrätty A oli jäänyt saapumatta palveluspaikkaansa määräaikaan 13.7.2009 mennessä jatkaen poissaoloaan 19.8.2009 saakka, jolloin hän oli saapunut palveluspaikkaansa. Palveluspaikkaan saapumisen jälkeen A oli samana päivänä hakenut muutosta palveluksenaloittamisajankohtaan perustellen hakemustaan 9.8.2007 alkaneilla ja 31.5.2010 päättyviksi arvioiduilla opinnoillaan. Hakemus oli 19.8.2009 hyväksytty ja A oli määrätty saapumaan uudelleen palvelukseen 12.7.2010. Kysymys siitä, oliko A:n poissaolosta aiheutunut tai voinut aiheutua olennainen keskeytys hänen koulutuksessaan tai muuten olennaista haittaa palvelukselle ja oliko A syyllistynyt rikoslain 45 luvun 10 §:n mukaiseen karkaamiseen.
