Täytäntöönpanotarpeet

Täytäntöönpanotarpeet refers to the costs and expenses associated with the enforcement of judgments and court decisions in Finland. These costs are incurred when a party to a legal dispute needs to use official enforcement channels to compel the other party to comply with a ruling. This typically arises when a debtor fails to voluntarily fulfill an obligation, such as paying a debt or vacating a property, as ordered by a court.

The primary body responsible for enforcement in Finland is the Enforcement Authority (ulosottolaitos). The costs of enforcement are generally borne by the party against whom the enforcement is directed, meaning the losing party or debtor. However, the party initiating the enforcement action (the creditor) may have to advance some of these costs initially.

These costs can include various items such as enforcement fees, travel expenses for enforcement officers, costs related to seizing and selling property, and administrative fees. The specific amounts are regulated by law and are often calculated as a percentage of the enforced amount or based on established fee schedules. The aim is to ensure that the process of enforcing legal decisions is effective and that the party who has obtained a favorable judgment can realize the benefits of that judgment without undue burden. The principle is that the losing party should cover the costs incurred in making them comply with the court's decision.
