Supreme Court allows state to claim court costs when defendant fails to appear in person at main trial.
Sintesi Legislator
Generato dall'IAThe Supreme Court allowed the state to claim court costs from the defendant for failing to appear in person at the main trial. The lower courts had dismissed two charges against the defendant, but the state argued that the defendant's absence at the initial hearing caused unnecessary expenses. The court ruled that the statutory obligation to appear in person remains valid even if subsequent charges are dropped, thereby justifying the cost claim.

A:n valituksesta hovioikeus hylkäsi vielä toisen syytteen. Koska syytteet oli hylätty, valtio oli A:n vaatimuksesta velvollinen korvaamaan hänelle oikeudenkäyntikuluina käräjäoikeuden pääkäsittelyyn saapumisesta aiheutuneet kulut.
