Oikaisukäskyistä

Oikaisukäskyistä, a Finnish term, translates to "order for correction" or "rectification order" in English. This legal or administrative concept refers to a formal directive issued by an authority to rectify an error, omission, or inaccuracy in a previous decision, document, or procedure. The purpose of an oikaisukäsky is to ensure that official actions are correct and comply with applicable laws and regulations.

Such orders can arise in various contexts, including administrative law, where a public authority might issue an oikaisukäsky to correct a mistake in a permit, a decision on benefits, or a tax assessment. In judicial proceedings, a court might issue an order for correction if there's a clerical error in a judgment or a procedural irregularity that needs to be addressed. The issuing authority typically has the power to initiate an oikaisukäsky either on its own motion or upon a request from an affected party.

The process and scope of an oikaisukäsky are usually defined by specific legislation. Generally, it is used for minor corrections and does not involve a re-examination of the merits of the original decision. The aim is to clarify or amend the existing record rather than to change the fundamental outcome unless the error directly impacts it. Parties affected by an oikaisukäsky may have rights to appeal or seek further review, depending on the specific legal framework.
