Lögfylgju

Lögfylgju is an Icelandic term that translates to "legal appendix" or "legal attachment." It refers to a document or piece of information that is formally appended to a contract, agreement, or other legal instrument. This appended material becomes an integral part of the main document and is considered to have the same legal standing.

The purpose of a lögfylgju is to provide supplementary details, specifications, definitions, or conditions that are too lengthy or complex to be included directly within the main body of the contract. This can include things like technical specifications for goods being sold, detailed descriptions of services to be rendered, schedules, payment terms, or appendices that list specific clauses or amendments.

When a lögfylgju is incorporated into a legal document, it is typically referenced within the main text, often with a statement indicating that the appendix is attached and forms part of the agreement. Both parties are expected to review and understand the content of the lögfylgju as thoroughly as they would the main contract. Failure to adhere to the terms outlined in the lögfylgju can have the same legal consequences as violating the main provisions of the agreement. The use of lögfylgju helps to ensure clarity and comprehensiveness in legal dealings.
