Valituksissa

Valituksissa is a Finnish word form used in legal and administrative language. It is the inessive plural of the noun valitus, which means an appeal or a complaint directed at a decision by a public authority. The form valituksissa literally means “in the appeals” or “in the complaints,” and it is used when referring to multiple appeals or to what is stated within them.

In grammar, valitus belongs to the group of nouns that form the inessive plural with the ending -issa. The corresponding singular form is valituksessa. The genitive plural is valitusten. Valituksissa is commonly found in official texts to discuss the content, grounds, or procedures of several ongoing appeals rather than a single case.

In practice, valituksissa appears in sentences such as: Valituksissa esitetyt vaatimukset tutkitaan hallinto-oikeudessa. or Valituksissa käsitellään päätöksen perusteiden laillisuutta. The phrase can also refer to the set of issues raised across multiple cases, for example: Valituksissa on tuotu esiin erilaisia oikeudellisia seikkoja. The nuance is that the discussion concerns the appeals as a group, rather than just one appeal.

Context and usage: Valitus as a general term covers appeals to public authorities or courts. Valituksissa is thus most common in legal summaries, court decisions, and administrative texts that describe multiple appeals, grounds, or arguments presented in those appeals. In Finnish administrative law, valitukset are typically analyzed within the framework of hallintovalitus procedures and related time limits and standards.
