erityismääräys

An erityismääräys, which translates to "special provision" or "specific regulation" in English, is a term used in Finnish legal and administrative contexts. It refers to a specific rule or directive that deviates from or supplements general legislation or regulations. These provisions are typically introduced to address particular situations, sectors, or groups that require tailored treatment.

Erityismääräykset can be found in various areas of law, including public administration, environmental regulations, and social welfare. They might be enacted to provide exemptions, set stricter standards, or grant specific rights or obligations not covered by broader laws. The purpose is often to achieve a more precise and effective outcome in a specific context.

The implementation of an erityismääräys can occur through parliamentary legislation, government decrees, or even decisions made by specific administrative bodies, depending on the legal framework. They are designed to be applied alongside, rather than replace, general laws, ensuring that the fundamental principles of the legal system are still upheld while allowing for necessary flexibility and specificity. When interpreting or applying an erityismääräys, it is crucial to consider both the specific provision and the overarching legislation it relates to.
