Supreme Court allows appeal against appellate court's expanded conviction and increased damages without plaintiff's request.
Sintesi Legislator
Generato dall'IAThe Supreme Court of Finland allowed the prosecution's appeal against the District Court's judgment, overturning the High Court's decision to expand the conviction and increase damages. Although the plaintiff did not request a change to the District Court's ruling, the High Court had independently broadened the conviction and raised the compensation amount. The Supreme Court determined that the High Court's actions were legally flawed and restored the original compensation level.

Syyttäjän haettua muutosta käräjäoikeuden tuomioon hovioikeus oli laajentanut syyksilukemista. Hovioikeus oli tämän johdosta myös korottanut asianomistajalle tuomittua vahingonkorvausta, vaikka asianomistaja ei ollut hakenut muutosta käräjäoikeuden tuomioon. Hovioikeuden tuomitsema vahingonkorvaus alennettiin käräjäoikeuden tuomitsemaan määrään.
