Supreme Court dismisses claim against employer for asbestos exposure damages due to lack of statutory liability basis.
Sintesi Legislator
Generato dall'IAThe Supreme Court dismissed the plaintiff's claim for damages against the employer regarding asbestos exposure. The court found that no specific statutory provision in Finnish law at the time established a direct liability for the employer's failure to warn or protect workers from asbestos risks. Consequently, the claim was rejected because the necessary legal foundation for such compensation was absent.
