Täytäntöönpanomääräyksiä

Täytäntöönpanomääräyksiä refers to court orders in Finland that are necessary for enforcing a legally binding judgment. When a court has made a final decision, for example, ordering a party to pay a sum of money or to perform a specific action, but the party does not comply voluntarily, the other party can seek enforcement. The täytäntöönpanomääräys is the formal document issued by the enforcement authority, typically the Ulosottolaitos (Enforcement Office), that authorizes and guides the enforcement process.

These orders specify the exact measures to be taken to satisfy the judgment. This could involve, for instance, seizing and selling the debtor's assets, garnishing wages, or compelling the performance of an obligation. The scope and nature of the täytäntöönpanomääräys depend entirely on the underlying court judgment and the circumstances of the case. The enforcement authority operates based on these orders, ensuring that judicial decisions are effectively carried out.

The process usually begins with an application for enforcement by the creditor. The enforcement authority then reviews the application and the original judgment, and if the conditions are met, issues the täytäntöönpanomääräys. This order is then served upon the debtor, informing them of the impending enforcement actions and their rights, such as the possibility to object to the enforcement. The legal framework governing these orders is primarily found in the Finnish Enforcement Code (Ulosottokaaressi).
