Lisanõue

Lisanõue is an Estonian term that translates to "additional claim" or "supplementary claim" in English. It refers to a claim made after an initial claim has already been filed or considered. This can occur in various legal and administrative contexts. For instance, in a court case, a plaintiff might file a lisanõue to introduce new evidence or claims that were not part of the original lawsuit. Similarly, in insurance matters, a policyholder might submit a lisanõue if, after an initial claim is processed, further damages or losses are discovered.

The process and validity of a lisanõue often depend on the specific regulations governing the area in which it is filed. In legal proceedings, there are typically rules regarding when and how a lisanõue can be submitted, often requiring court approval to ensure it does not unduly delay proceedings or prejudice the other parties. In insurance, the terms of the policy and the relevant laws will dictate whether a supplementary claim is permissible and under what conditions. The purpose of allowing a lisanõue is to ensure fairness and completeness, allowing for the resolution of all related issues that may not have been apparent or fully understood at the time of the initial claim.
