Lopettamiskäskyä

Lopettamiskäskyä is a Finnish term that translates to "order to cease" or "cessation order" in English. It is a formal directive issued by an authority, typically a government agency or legal body, instructing an individual, organization, or entity to immediately stop a particular activity. This activity could be anything from illegal construction, unauthorized business operations, or violations of environmental regulations to potentially harmful social media content or specific research practices.

The issuance of a lopettamiskäskyä is usually a consequence of an investigation or complaint that has revealed a breach of law, regulation, or an established standard. The order details the specific action that must cease and often outlines the reasons behind the directive. It may also specify a timeframe for compliance or require the recipient to take corrective measures. Failure to comply with a lopettamiskäskyä can result in further legal action, fines, or other penalties, depending on the jurisdiction and the nature of the violation. These orders are a tool used to enforce rules and protect public interest, safety, or the environment by halting potentially damaging or illegal activities.
