Sintesi Legislator
Generato dall'IAThe Supreme Court of Finland allowed the appeal against the District Court's judgment ordering a price reduction and damages for construction defects. The District Court had found the seller liable for defects, but the Court of Appeal sought to overturn this based on a lack of clear documentation regarding the contract's contents. The Supreme Court ruled that the District Court correctly applied the law and the evidence supported the finding of liability, thus rejecting the appeal's grounds.
Regesto Legislator

Kysymys siitä, oliko hovioikeus myyjän muutosvaatimusten perusteet huomioon ottaen voinut kumota käräjäoikeuden tuomion ja hylätä kanteen sen vuoksi, että osapuolten välisen sopimuksen sisällöstä ei ollut esitetty selvitystä.
