Lisätutkinta

Lisätutkinta is a Finnish term that translates to "further investigation" or "additional inquiry." It is most commonly used in legal and administrative contexts to refer to a process where a case, investigation, or application requires more information or scrutiny before a final decision can be made. This can occur at various stages of a legal proceeding, such as during a preliminary investigation by the police, within a court case, or when an administrative authority is processing a permit or application.

The purpose of lisätutkinta is to ensure that all relevant facts are gathered, evidence is properly examined, and all parties have had an adequate opportunity to present their case. This can involve interviewing additional witnesses, collecting new documents, ordering expert opinions, or conducting further analysis of existing evidence. The decision to order a lisätutkinta is typically made by the authority or court responsible for the matter. It is a mechanism designed to uphold the principles of due process and to arrive at a just and well-founded outcome. The extent and nature of the lisätutkinta will depend on the specific circumstances and the information gaps identified.
