The threshold for remanding a child in a pre-trial investigation

Remand is the most severe form of coercive measure in the pre-trial investigation, but despite this, a few dozen children are remanded in the pre-trial investigation every year in Finland. Although remand is possible for 15-17-year-olds, in accordance with the Convention on the Rights of the Child, it should always be used only as a measure of last resort and for the shortest appropriate period of time and must be in the best interests of the child.
If there is a danger of avoiding pre-trial investigation, remanding a child is never in the best interest of the child. In the case of children in danger of continuing to commit crimes, remanding may come into question if the means of child welfare are not sufficient. De lege ferenda should, however, present a possibility of ordering the child to a children’s home instead of remanding him or her.
The threshold for remanding a child is at its lowest in serious crimes where there is the possibility to influence other persons connected to the crime. This is in connection with restrictions of contacts during deprivation of liberty. It’s important to separate the investigation of the crime and the consequences. There is no possibility of compensation or punishment without a solved crime.

Publishing criminal judgements as open data – The challenges of
increasing access to public sector information and open data

The EU directive on open data and the re-use of public sector information (Open data directive, 2019/1024) along with several European policy documents and action plans require that the public sector information is published as open data as far as the general data protection regulation (GDPR, 2016/679) allows. The goal is to increase the availability of public data as well as increase business
opportunities by encouraging the dissemination of data. In this article, I examine whether the Finnish lower court judgements in criminal matters could be published as open data. In Finland, an AI tool has been created to automatically pseudonymise court decisions, hence, make the publishing process easier and quicker. However, I argue that the tool does not considerably help the
pseudonymisation process, since it only conceals the names of the parties and the names of the places in the documents. In the court decisions there are usually also other kinds of sensitive and personal data that should be concealed before publishing the documents. Moreover, as the goals and means of publishing open data differ from those of ensuring the more traditional public access to documents, the requirement of publishing the court decisions as open data can end up limiting the amount of public information available.

De lege ferenda -tutkimus prosessi- ja insolvenssioikeudessa

Research de lege ferenda in procedural law and insolvency law

The article discusses how research of legal policy (de lege ferenda) has been conducted in recent Finnish jurisprudence in the fields of procedural law and insolvency law. First, the author clarifies the concept by discussing its relationship to dogmatic legal research and evaluative socio-legal research. Second, the article reviews recent jurisprudence in order to formulate a descriptive framework of research de lege ferenda. Such a framework contains major choices that a researcher de lege ferenda tends to face. The article is inspired by a model developed by Tuula Linna in the 1980s, yet it departs from Linna’s model to recognise the variety of research de lege ferenda. Although such research may be
described as analysis of legislative means with respect to goals, some researchers focus on goal setting, discussing the underlying values and policies critically. Other researchers have focused on surveying and analysing alternative means in
some detail, using law and economics literature and other socio-legal research. The article aims to improve the self-understanding of Finnish jurisprudence by systematising this complexity under a common framework.

Sosiaalihuollon asiakkaan suostumuksen väärinkäytöstä

Abuse of Consent in Residential Elder Care

The article develops a legal doctrine on the consent of the social care client: the abuse of consent in the context of residential elder care. The systematisation is based on the general doctrine of consent in public law. Instead of centralising the focus on informing and competence, the article examines the meaning of consent as a part of the overall legal evaluation of the care action from the
perspective of administrative and social law. The abuse of consent means that consent functions to legitimise problematic care actions in legal argumentation. The article proposes a model for the abuse of consent doctrine, where the legal requirements of consent follow the nature of power, fundamental rights impact and the client’s dependency on care. The more severe use of power and dependency
of the client, the less legally acceptable the use of consent should be as a justification for the care action.
