asetuskohtaisia

Asetuskohtaisia is a Finnish term that translates to "decree-specific" or "regulatory-specific" in English. It refers to matters, rules, or guidelines that are detailed within a specific decree or regulation, rather than being broadly applicable general principles. In legal and administrative contexts, understanding what is "asetuskohtaisia" is crucial for precise interpretation and application of laws and policies.

When a legal provision is described as asetuskohtaisia, it means its scope and implementation are confined to the particular decree it is part of. This implies that one cannot assume these provisions apply universally or are automatically extended to other related decrees or statutes without explicit mention. For instance, if a specific aspect of environmental protection is only mentioned in one decree, its regulations are asetuskohtaisia to that particular decree.

The concept highlights the hierarchical nature of Finnish legislation, where decrees (asetukset) are subsidiary to statutes (lait) and often provide the detailed mechanisms for implementing broader legislative intent. Therefore, identifying whether a particular rule is asetuskohtaisia helps in determining its legal authority, its precise application, and its relationship with other legal instruments. This specificity is vital for legal certainty and for ensuring that administrative actions are based on clearly defined and applicable regulations.
