Supreme Court allows deduction of third-party assistance costs from additional income before percentage calculations in debt restructuring agreements.

The Supreme Court of Finland allowed a condition in a debt restructuring agreement permitting the deduction of reasonable costs incurred from third-party assistance before calculating income percentages. The creditor argued that such deductions violated the statutory framework for debt restructuring, while the debtor contended the condition was a valid contractual modification. The court ruled that the agreement did not contravene the Debt Restructuring Act, establishing that parties may contractually adjust the calculation sequence of additional income.
