Generato dall'IAThe Supreme Court of Finland allowed the plaintiff's claim for damages despite the dismissal of the criminal charge against the defendant. The plaintiff argued that the defendant's actions caused harm, while the defense contended that the lack of criminal conviction negated civil liability. The court ruled that the dismissal of criminal charges does not preclude a separate civil liability assessment based on the same facts.
