Labour Court dismissed JHL's claim against the Ministry for failing to provide a written response to a request for information.

The Labour Court dismissed the Finnish Public and Welfare Sector Union's (JHL) appeal against the Ministry of Finance's failure to respond to a request for information. JHL argued that the Ministry's silence constituted a violation of the Act on Access to Official Documents, while the Ministry contended that the request lacked sufficient specificity to warrant a formal reply. The court ruled that the Ministry was not obligated to provide a written response when the request was too vague, thereby upholding the administrative inaction.
