Yksittäisolutason

Yksittäisolutason refers to a concept within Finnish legal and administrative contexts, particularly concerning individual legal acts or decisions. It signifies a level of scrutiny or action that pertains to a singular instance, rather than a broader category or general rule. This term is often used when discussing administrative procedures, judicial review, or the application of laws.

When a matter is examined at the yksittäisolutason, it means that the focus is on the specific details and circumstances of a particular case or decision. This contrasts with a more general examination of legislation or policy. For example, in administrative law, a citizen might challenge a specific permit denial at the yksittäisolutason, arguing that the decision made in their individual case was incorrect.

The principle of yksittäisolutason implies that administrative bodies and courts should consider the unique facts of each situation when making or reviewing decisions. This ensures fairness and allows for adjustments based on individual needs and contexts. It underscores the idea that legal and administrative processes should not be applied rigidly without regard for specific circumstances. The Finnish legal system, like many others, emphasizes the importance of addressing individual cases appropriately.
