Supreme Court dismisses appeal; bar association cannot expel members solely for debt collection via enforcement proceedings.

The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal against the Finnish Bar Association's decision to expel a member for failing to pay debts through enforcement proceedings. The member argued that the expulsion violated professional ethics, while the Bar Association contended that financial irresponsibility undermined the profession's integrity. The court ruled that debt collection methods do not constitute a valid ground for disciplinary expulsion under the Bar Association's statutes.
