	Jokela (Agriculture) [1998] EUECJ C-118/97 (22 October 1998)
		The Finnish legislation frees a farmer claiming the compensatory allowance from any condition as to residence, provided that he can establish both the existence of special grounds and the fact that he works the farm himself and derives at least 50% of his income from farming or similar activities.
		However, that lack of precision reflects the Finnish legislature's intention to provide the competent authority with an instrument flexible enough to enable it to resolve, after objective and complete examination of each case, particular problems which cannot be provided for in advance on account of their diversity.
		In Case C-118/97, the national court asks whether it is contrary to those principles for a minor, living permanently with her legal guardian some 70 kilometres from the farm, which is not worked either by her or by her guardian, to be excluded from eligibility for the compensatory allowance.

		One important issue when considering the time aspect of IP enforcement proceedings is that in infringement proceedings for matters concerning registered rights (including patents, registered designs and trademarks), it is foreseeable, particularly in patent matters, that the defendant may initiate cancellation proceedings against the validity of the registered right.
		A Finnish court will normally stay infringement proceedings until there is a final decision in the invalidation proceedings, meaning that the time span for proceedings may double.
		The Finnish Council of State has acknowledged the importance of specialised IP courts and has set up a working committee for the preparation of a more specialised IP judiciary.
