The Supreme Court of Finland dismissed the defense fee claim because the lower court failed to explicitly state the amount awarded. The defense argued for a specific fee based on the complexity of the case, while the prosecution contended the fee was already covered by general costs. The court ruled that without a clear determination of the fee amount in the lower court's decision, the claim could not be substantiated for appeal.
