Supreme Court allows full legal costs against defendants despite partial claim acceptance in rental dispute.

The Supreme Court of Finland allowed the appellant to recover full legal costs from the defendants, even though the lower court's claim was only partially accepted. The case involved a dispute over the rental of a residential property where the district court ordered the defendants to pay all litigation expenses. The court ruled that the principle of cost allocation does not require a strict correlation between the extent of claim acceptance and the amount of costs awarded.
