Tiedoksiantona

Tiedoksiantona is a Finnish legal term that translates roughly to "for information" or "as notification." It is used in legal documents and proceedings to indicate that a particular piece of information is being provided for the recipient's awareness, rather than as a formal demand, order, or binding decision. This designation signifies that the information is being communicated so that the recipient is aware of certain facts, events, or circumstances.

The purpose of using "tiedoksiantona" is to ensure transparency and to keep relevant parties informed. For example, a court might send a document "tiedoksiantona" to inform a party about a procedural step that has been taken, or that a certain deadline is approaching. It does not typically require the recipient to take any specific action, but it is important for the recipient to understand the content of the information provided.

In practice, documents or communications marked as "tiedoksiantona" are distinct from those that require a response or compliance. This distinction helps to streamline legal processes by clearly delineating what requires action and what merely needs to be noted. The term emphasizes the communicative function of the information being conveyed.
