Lähteestäpoisto

Lähteestäpoisto, often translated as "source removal" or "removal from source," is a process primarily associated with the Finnish public administration and legal system. It refers to the act of removing an individual or entity from a particular record or register, effectively erasing their connection to it. This concept is not a single, overarching legal term but rather a procedural outcome that can occur in various contexts.

One common instance of lähteestäpoisto is in relation to business registers. If a company ceases to operate, it can be removed from the official trade register. This signifies that the legal entity no longer exists or is no longer actively engaged in commerce. Similarly, individuals might be removed from certain public lists or databases if their status changes, for example, if they are no longer residents of a particular municipality.

The legal basis for lähteestäpoisto varies depending on the specific register or context. It is often a consequence of a formal application, a court decision, or an administrative process that determines the conditions for removal have been met. The purpose of lähteestäpoisto is to ensure that official records accurately reflect the current situation and to prevent outdated or irrelevant information from persisting. It is a mechanism for maintaining the integrity and accuracy of public information systems.
