Supreme Administrative Court held that mothers of wards do not have access to confidential Kela files unless they are statutory parties and children consent.

The Supreme Administrative Court ruled that the Social Insurance Institution (Kansaneläkelaitos) is the authority designated under Section 2(3) of the Public Access to Documents Act. The court found that mothers of wards generally lack the right to access confidential files held by Kela unless they are recognized as parties under Section 19(1) and the wards themselves consent to disclosure. Consequently, the court affirmed that without the children's consent, the mothers' request for information regarding their wards was legally inadmissible.
