Tühistes

Tühistes is a term used in Estonian law to refer to the invalidation or annulment of a legal document, decision, or action. The concept is rooted in the principle of legal certainty and the protection of individual rights. Tühistes can be granted for various reasons, including errors in the legal process, fraud, or the violation of legal principles. The process of obtaining tühistes typically involves filing a petition with the relevant court, which then reviews the case to determine if the grounds for annulment are met. Once granted, tühistes has the effect of nullifying the original decision or action, allowing for a fresh start or the correction of any wrongdoing. This mechanism is an essential tool in the Estonian legal system, ensuring that justice is served and that individuals' rights are protected.
