Court dismissed defamation claim where defendant falsely claimed deceased persons committed perjury, constituting insult not perjury.

The Supreme Court of Finland dismissed the plaintiff's claim for serious insult against the defendant. The defendant falsely alleged that deceased individuals had provided false information or hints, arguing this constituted serious insult. The court found the defendant's conduct amounted only to a lesser insult rather than serious insult because the alleged acts of the deceased did not meet the specific criteria for perjury or serious harm to reputation.
