| Guiding principle: |
The Court stated that a Finnish citizen who had for at least five yeras without interruption been residing in the Aland Islands should be granted the right of domicile, unless weighty reasons existed. As the 1951 Autonomy Act did not explicitly establish knowledge of Swedish as a precondition for acquiring the right of domicile, this right could not be refused on the grounds invoked by the Government of Aland. The case was returned to the Aland Government for reconsideration. |
