Korjausmääräys

Korjausmääräys refers to a formal directive issued by an authority, typically in Finland, requiring the correction of a violation or non-compliance with regulations, laws, or administrative decisions. The term is commonly used in various administrative contexts, such as environmental protection, construction, or municipal services. Korjausmääräys serves as an official notice instructing an individual or organization to rectify a specific issue within a set timeframe.

The issuance of a korjausmääräys is based on an administrative investigation where the authority determines that a violation has occurred. The directive is usually accompanied by a deadline for compliance, and failure to adhere to the instructions may result in further enforcement actions, such as fines or legal proceedings. Korjausmääräys is distinct from a fine, as it focuses on correcting the underlying problem rather than penalizing the offender financially.

In practice, korjausmääräys is often used in environmental cases, such as addressing pollution or unauthorized construction. Municipalities may also issue korjausmääräys to resolve issues related to public order, zoning violations, or maintenance deficiencies in properties. The process typically involves a formal notification, allowing the recipient to present their case before a final decision is made.

The legal basis for korjausmääräys varies depending on the jurisdiction and the specific regulations involved. In Finland, such directives fall under administrative law, where authorities have the power to enforce compliance with legal requirements. The recipient of a korjausmääräys has the right to appeal the decision through administrative courts if they believe it is unjustified or improperly issued.
