Kohtutest

Kohtutest is a term used in Estonian-language sources that literally means "court test" or "test by the court." It does not correspond to a single codified procedure in international law, but rather may appear in documents to describe examinations or evaluations ordered by a court as part of a case. The exact meaning depends on context, and the term can be used informally to refer to various court-directed assessments rather than a fixed procedural name.

Etymology: The word combines kohtu, meaning court, and test, meaning test or examination; this kind of compound formation is common in Estonian legal and procedural vocabulary.

Usage: In practice, kohtutest may denote any examination conducted under court authority, such as medical, psychological, or expert evaluations, or the review of evidence that a judge requires to make a decision. It can appear in civil, criminal, or administrative proceedings.

Notes: Because the term is not a standard technical designation with a fixed definition across all sources, its precise scope varies by jurisdiction, document, and translator. For precise meaning, one should consult the specific court order, statute, or legal context in which the term appears.
