Supreme Court dismisses appeal withdrawal objection, ruling procedural silence does not equate to formal withdrawal.

The Supreme Court dismissed the applicant's objection to the court's refusal to accept a statement of appeal withdrawal. The applicant had verbally indicated withdrawal but failed to submit a formal written notice, while the opposing party argued the procedural silence constituted a valid withdrawal. The court held that under Finnish administrative procedure law, a withdrawal of an appeal requires explicit written documentation to ensure legal certainty and prevent ambiguity regarding the status of the proceedings.
