Lisäehdolla

Lisäehdolla is a Finnish term that translates to "conditional" or "with an additional condition." It is most commonly encountered in legal contexts, particularly in contracts and agreements, where it signifies that a certain provision or clause will only come into effect or be binding if a specified condition is met. This condition must be something that is not guaranteed to happen, and its fulfillment is crucial for the validity or enforceability of the conditional part of the agreement.

The concept of lisäehdolla is a fundamental principle in contract law, allowing parties to structure their agreements in a way that accounts for future uncertainties. For example, a contract for the sale of a property might include a lisäehdolla that the sale is conditional upon the buyer securing financing. If the buyer fails to obtain the necessary loan, the sale agreement, or at least that specific part of it, becomes void.

Similarly, in employment contracts, a probationary period might be considered a lisäehdolla. The permanent employment might be conditional upon the employee successfully completing the probationary period to the employer's satisfaction. The specific nature of the condition must be clearly defined within the agreement to avoid ambiguity. The responsibility for proving that the condition has been met typically lies with the party who benefits from the condition.
