The Supreme Court's decision concerning the dispute between Componenta Karkkila and VR (Finnish Railways)


The Supreme Court has today rendered its decision concerning a supply of train
wheels between Componenta Karkkila Oy and VR Ltd. The Supreme Court rejected
Componenta Karkkila's appeal and upheld the decision of Helsinki Appeal Court
of 20 December 2007. The matter related to a contract to supply train wheels
signed in 1990 and wheels supplied in 1991 and 1992. 

Componenta recorded the compensation order of the Appeal Court amounting to
approximately EUR 1.9 million in the result for the last quarter of 2007 as a
one-time item. Therefore, the Supreme Court's decision has no effect on
Componenta's 2009 result.
