arvessevõtmisel

Arvesse võtmisel is a term used in Estonian to describe the act of considering relevant facts, circumstances, and legal provisions when assessing a situation or making a decision. The standard form in Estonian is arvesse võtmisel, a combination of the verb arvesse võtma (to take into account) and the suffix that marks the context of taking into account.

Definition and scope

Arvesse võtmine refers to weighing information to influence outcomes in legal, administrative, and professional contexts. It encompasses recognizing which factors are legally or practically relevant and giving them appropriate weight in the decision-making process.

Usage in law and administration

In legal proceedings and governance, authorities are expected to take into account applicable laws, evidence, and statutory criteria. This includes considering mitigating or aggravating circumstances in sentencing, assessing eligibility for benefits, licenses, or permissions, and ensuring that decisions are reasoned and transparent. Decisions should indicate which aspects were taken into account and how they affected the result.

Examples

- In criminal law, mitigating circumstances such as youth, remorse, or lack of prior offenses may be taken into account, potentially affecting the sentence.

- In social benefits, family status or income may be taken into account when determining eligibility and benefit level.

Grammar and related terms

The verb arvesse võtma means “to take into account.” The noun form is arvesse võtmine; arvesse võtmisel specifies the context (in taking into account). Related terms include arvestus (consideration, calculation) and võttes arvesse.

Notes

Usage may vary by legal system and document style, but the core idea remains consistent: decisions should be grounded in appropriately taken into account factors.
