Supreme Court dismisses claim for inheritance when no formal legal demand was filed by the heir.

The Supreme Court of Finland dismissed the plaintiff's claim for inheritance because the heir failed to file a formal legal demand within the statutory period. The court noted that while the heir knew of the inheritance, no written or oral demand was made to the estate administrator or other heirs as required by law. Consequently, the court ruled that the statutory time limit for claiming inheritance had expired due to the lack of a proper legal demand.
