Supreme Court held lower court must transfer main proceedings to the court of first instance.

The Supreme Court of Finland ruled that the Court of Appeal was obligated to transfer the main proceedings back to the Court of First Instance. The appellant argued the lower court failed to fulfill its procedural duty to initiate the main trial, while the respondent contended the matter was already resolved. The court decided in favor of the appellant, establishing that the lower court's inaction constituted a procedural violation requiring the transfer of the case.
