Supreme Court allows correction of a judgment's main clause for a typographical error under the Code of Judicial Procedure.

The Supreme Court of Finland allowed the correction of a typographical error in the main clause of a criminal judgment. The lower court sought to amend the text under Section 10 of Chapter 24 of the Code of Judicial Procedure, arguing the error was merely clerical and did not affect the substance of the decision. The Court agreed that such minor clerical mistakes can be rectified without violating the principle of legal certainty, provided the intended meaning remains clear.
