The case study in section 5 covers various stages of legislative drafting process of the IDLR ranging from 2009 until 2018. The Finnish legislative drafting processes can be outlined in nine stages (Finlex 2019):
1. Initiative
2. Preliminary preparation
3. Regulatory drafting (official duties)
4. Consultation
5. Continued drafting
6. Review by the Government
7. Parliamentary review (including consultation in the parliamentary committees)
8. Enactment Act published in the Statute Book
9. Enforcement and monitoring

 Answer specifically these questions:
1. Which stakeholder groups were involved?
2. Were the stakeholders for or against the suggestions?
3. What amendments did they request? E.g., did they request more/less effective tax avoidance legislation?
4. How did different stakeholder groups respond to the consultations? How did their background and interests appear in their views?
5. Whose comments were taken into account if the consultation influenced the corresponding rule?
