According to the Supreme Administrative Court Brief Solutions description:

"The Finnish Immigration Service ruled on the fourth application for international protection and dismiss it as inadmissible, even though the decision of the Finnish Immigration Service on the applicant's third application was not yet final at that time. Section 102 of the Aliens Act did not provide that the validity of a decision made on the basis of a previous application would be a procedural condition for resolving a new application.

Although the appeal against the third application had subsequently been brought before the second administrative court, the administrative court had had to decide the appeal against the fourth application without transferring it to the second administrative court dealing with the third application. At the appeal stage, the competence of the Finnish Immigration Service to resolve the matter was assessed and confirmed in accordance with the situation prevailing at the time of the decision."
