Korraldusakt

Korraldusakt is an Estonian administrative act issued by a public authority. It is a formal decision that directs or prohibits a specific action or behavior by an individual, organization, or another legal entity. Unlike a general regulation that applies to an undefined group of people, a korraldusakt is typically addressed to a specific addressee or a clearly defined group. These acts are a fundamental part of the Estonian administrative law system and are used in a wide range of situations, from issuing building permits and imposing fines to ordering the demolition of an illegal structure or granting a license.

The issuance of a korraldusakt must adhere to principles of administrative law, including legality, proportionality, and fairness. The issuing authority must have a legal basis for its decision, and the act must be justified by the circumstances. The addressee of a korraldusakt generally has the right to appeal the decision through administrative or judicial channels if they believe it is unlawful or unfair. The specific requirements for the form and content of a korraldusakt are often detailed in national administrative procedure acts. The purpose of these acts is to ensure that public authorities can effectively carry out their duties and responsibilities while respecting the rights of individuals and organizations.
