Supreme Court rejected appeal application from Metsähallitus in forest cartel compensation case - "Hearing would have been very important"
Summary:
The Supreme Court did not give Metsähallitus permission to appeal in the raw wood cartel case. The decision by the Helsinki Court of Appeals will remain in effect. Metsähallitus chairman Timo Laitinen says that it would have been important to have this socially significant and complex case heard by the highest court in the land. In 2004, an investigation was launched based on a tip-off from UPM. According to the market court, forest companies UPM, Stora Enso and Metsäliitto operated an illegal cartel between 1997-2004.

Forest industry won all the way in cartel case
Summary:
The Supreme Court will not take up Metsähallitus' demands in the timber cartel case. Aproximately 500 private forest owners, over 30 municipalities and Metsähallitus have litigated against Finland's three major forest companies for several years. They have all claimed compensation due to the wood cartel maintained by Metsäliitto, UPM and Stora Enso between 1997 and 2004. The ruling in the district court and in the court of appeal has in all cases been the same: It has not been possible to prove that those who sold timber to the companies suffered losses due to the cartel. The case is now closed. The Supreme Court on Tuesday announced that it will not take up Metsähallitus's appeal.
