Supreme Court allows compensation for De Quervain's tenosynovitis treated as a work-related injury under Finnish Work Accident Act.

The Supreme Court of Finland allowed the claimant's request for compensation regarding De Quervain's tenosynovitis, which the lower court had denied. The claimant argued that the condition, characterized by wrist pain and inflammation, arose from work duties, while the opposing party contended it was a pre-existing or non-work-related issue. The court ruled in favor of the claimant by recognizing the specific medical diagnosis as a direct consequence of the employment relationship under the relevant statutory framework.
