Nariadení

Nariadení is a term originating from Slavic languages, most notably Slovak and Czech, and it translates directly to "regulation" or "order" in English. In a legal and administrative context, a nariadení refers to a binding rule or directive issued by an authorized body or official. These are typically subsidiary legislative acts, meaning they are enacted to implement or supplement a higher law, such as a statute or a constitution.

The purpose of a nariadení is to provide detailed instructions or specifications on how a broader legal principle should be applied in practice. They are crucial for the day-to-day functioning of government and public administration, ensuring that laws are effectively translated into concrete actions. For instance, a government ministry might issue a nariadení to detail the specific procedures for applying for a particular permit, or to set standards for environmental protection based on a more general environmental law.

The authority to issue a nariadení is usually delegated by a legislative body to the executive branch or specific administrative agencies. While they have the force of law, they must remain within the scope of the parent legislation and cannot contradict it. In some legal systems, there are specific procedures for the publication and public notification of nariadení to ensure transparency and allow affected parties to be aware of their obligations. The term is fundamental to understanding the hierarchical structure of lawmaking and administrative governance in countries where it is used.
