Lisäselvityspyyntö

Lisäselvityspyyntö, often translated as "supplementary information request," is a legal process in which a public authority, such as a government agency or a court, seeks additional information from an individual or an organization. This process is typically initiated when the authority believes that the initial information provided is incomplete, unclear, or insufficient to make a decision or to proceed with an investigation.

The purpose of a lisäselvityspyyntö is to ensure that the authority has all the necessary details to make an informed decision. This can be crucial in cases involving public interest, such as environmental regulations, licensing applications, or criminal investigations. The request is usually sent in writing and specifies the information that is required.

Responding to a lisäselvityspyyntö is mandatory. Failure to provide the requested information within the specified time frame can result in penalties or other consequences, depending on the jurisdiction and the nature of the request. The individual or organization receiving the request must provide the information as accurately and completely as possible.

The process of a lisäselvityspyyntö is designed to be transparent and fair, ensuring that both the public authority and the respondent are aware of the reasons behind the request. It is a common practice in many legal systems to maintain the integrity and reliability of the information used in decision-making processes.
