The aim of the proposal is to promote the possibilities of the Supreme Court to issue preliminary rulings and so enhance the possibilities of the court to ensure the consistency and proper development of the administration of justice by its case law. The proposed means should steer legal questions of a precedential nature more effectively from lower courts to the Supreme Court and, additionally, enhance the Supreme Court's possibilities to issue precedents in matters that fall within the scope of the leave for continued consideration system in the Courts of Appeal.

Statute adopted
It is proposed that a new section 3a be added to Chapter 30 of the Code of Judicial Procedure, which would lay down provisions on one kind of a certiorari review in matters concerning leave for continued consideration. It is proposed that a new section 7 be added to chapter 30a of the Code of judicial Procedure, which would lay down provisions on transferring the question of precedence to the Supreme Court. According to the proposed provision, a district court or a court of appeal could decide to refer a question in a matter pending before it to the Supreme Court for decision. The procedure would apply in both civil and criminal matters.

Goals and results
The aim of the proposal is to promote the possibilities of the Supreme Court to issue preliminary rulings and so enhance the possibilities of the court to ensure the consistency and proper development of the administration of justice by its case law.
Starting points
The project has been given rise by the fact that the Supreme Court's possibilities to issue preliminary rulings comprehensively have weakened in recent years, especially in civil cases, due to a decrease in the number of leave to appeal cases and the extensive system of leave for continued consideration applied in courts of appeal.
Additional information
The aim of the proposal is to promote the possibilities of the Supreme Court to issue preliminary rulings and so enhance the possibilities of the court to ensure the consistency and proper development of the administration of justice by its case law. The proposed means should steer legal questions of a precedential nature more effectively from lower courts to the Supreme Court and, additionally, enhance the Supreme Court's possibilities to issue precedents in matters that fall within the scope of the leave for continued consideration system in the Courts of Appeal.
On 21.6.2023, the Supreme Court proposed that the Government adopt legislative measures to supplement the provisions of the Code of Judicial Procedure on appeals to the Supreme Court.
