We made a purchase offer for a house directly from the builder.

We set an approved final inspection as a condition for the sale.

The authority approved it.

Then it turned out the approval was illegal.

Four years. Twelve authorities. None corrected the error.
3,400 hours. ~100 documents. Includes sworn testimony from District Court.
This website documents what happens when you try to obtain justice in Finland. It represents a “citizen audit” concept, where a citizen independently documents and evaluates government action.

👑 The Emperor’s New Clothes

👑

Officials admitted in court that they knew the legal requirements but decided to ignore them “discretionally” and through “common interpretation.” The law was replaced by an informal agreement between civil servants.

“The law states that a permit must be applied for. […] But we have an interpretation… it would seem quite unreasonable if we now demanded a new permit.”
— Building Inspector Aro, under oath, District Court October 8, 2025

Like H.C. Andersen’s fairy tale: the truth is revealed, but the parade continues. No one stops the emperor.

📋 Officials testified under oath in District Court

📋

Four officials from Naantali were questioned as witnesses. The hearings revealed that they knew the legal requirements but decided to act “discretionally” against them.

“It was probably known immediately that the permit had expired […] discretionally considered, the inspection can be performed.”
— Building Inspector Ellilä, District Court October 8, 2025

Each hearing has been transcribed verbatim and legally analyzed. Names of third parties redacted.

Insurance Company Confirms: Structural Problem in Legal System

LähiTapiola’s legal protection insurance made a decision that reveals the jurisdictional ambiguity as real. A professional actor who assesses legal risk daily disagrees with the District Court’s interpretation.

“We will cover the costs arising from handling your case insofar as it concerns a compensation case against the City of Naantali that could as such be brought for consideration in the District Court.”
Supreme Admin Court
“Dismissed without examination”
District Court
“Cannot assess”
LähiTapiola
“Belongs to District Court”

This is no longer just one citizen’s claim – an independent third party confirms a system-level problem.

Technical Evidence: Physics Doesn’t Know “Discretion”

Electrical Safety (K38)

Life-threatening and illegal installations. Fire hazard. “Illegal contractor.”

Foundation Drains (K99)

Installed above foundation. Water remains in structures. “Against good building practice.”

HVAC Systems (K98)

Execution seriously deviates from plans (e.g., ventilation unit on wrong floor). Stamped final drawings missing.

Air Tightness (K102)

4 times worse than recommendations. Vapor barriers untaped and broken. “Moisture damage risk.”

Roof Structures (K101)

Wood darkening. Ventilation missing. Non-compliant structure.

The authority approved the property in final inspection with the note: “No remarks.”

The Pattern Repeats

Building inspection. Parking enforcement. Different cases, same model. When structures are challenged, the system doesn’t correct itself – it protects itself.
