LähiTapiola Legal Protection Decision CONFIRMS CLAIM
Insurance company’s corrected decision confirms District Court jurisdiction: LähiTapiola corrected its previous rejection decision on January 15, 2026 and granted legal protection coverage for damages case against the City of Naantali. By taking this position, the insurance company decided on jurisdiction differently than the District Court, which had previously bypassed assessment regarding the final inspection.
