Järelauselisi

Järelauselisi refers to a Finnish legal term that translates roughly to "concluding clause" or "final provisions" in English. It is a section commonly found at the end of laws, statutes, and other legal documents. The purpose of the järelauselisi is to govern the transition from the old legal order to the new one established by the legislation, as well as to address various administrative and technical matters related to the law's implementation and effect.

These clauses typically cover a range of issues. They often specify the commencement date of the law, determining when it officially comes into force. This can be a fixed date or an event that triggers its application. Furthermore, järelauselisi frequently include provisions for the repeal or amendment of existing legislation that is superseded by the new law. This ensures legal clarity and avoids conflicting regulations.

Additionally, concluding clauses may address transitional arrangements for ongoing cases or situations that arose before the new law took effect. This can involve stipulating how existing contracts, permits, or legal proceedings should be handled under the new legal framework. They might also contain provisions concerning the competent authorities responsible for enforcing the law, details on any necessary administrative procedures, or transitional rules for related fees or charges. The järelauselisi plays a crucial role in ensuring a smooth and orderly application of new legislation.
