Oikaisumenettelyssä

Oikaisumenettelyssä refers to a procedure in Finnish administrative law that allows an individual or entity to request a review of a decision made by an administrative authority. This process is typically a preliminary step before an appeal can be made to a higher court or administrative tribunal. The purpose of oikaisumenettelyssä is to give the original decision-making authority a chance to correct any errors or reconsider its decision based on new information or arguments presented by the applicant.

The request for rectification, or oikaisupyyntö, must usually be submitted within a specific time limit, often 30 days from the date the decision was officially communicated. The request should clearly state the decision being challenged, the reasons for seeking rectification, and the desired outcome. The authority then reviews the case and can either uphold its original decision, amend it, or revoke it entirely. If the applicant is still dissatisfied with the outcome of the oikaisumenettelyssä, they generally have the right to appeal the decision to the relevant administrative court. This procedure is designed to provide a more efficient and accessible way to resolve administrative disputes and ensure that decisions are fair and lawful.
