Myöntämiskelpoisuutta

Myöntämiskelpoisuutta is a Finnish legal term that translates roughly to "admissibility" or "eligibility for granting." It refers to the criteria and conditions that must be met for a particular request, application, or claim to be considered valid and potentially granted by an authority.

This concept is fundamental in administrative law and legal proceedings. For example, when an individual applies for a permit, a benefit, or makes a legal claim, the issuing body or court will first assess whether the application or claim possesses myöntämiskelpoisuutta. This involves verifying that all necessary documentation is provided, that the applicant meets the specified requirements, and that the request is made within the relevant legal framework.

If a request lacks myöntämiskelpoisuutta, it may be dismissed without further substantive review. This does not necessarily mean the underlying request is without merit, but rather that it fails to meet the procedural or formal prerequisites for consideration. Parties are often given an opportunity to rectify deficiencies that prevent their request from having myöntämiskelpoisuutta, depending on the specific regulations. The concept ensures that only valid and properly constituted matters are processed, promoting efficiency and fairness in decision-making.
