kehtestatav

Kehtestatav is an Estonian word that translates to "enforceable," "applicable," or "valid" in English. It is primarily used in legal and administrative contexts to describe rules, regulations, laws, or decisions that are legally binding and can be put into practice or upheld.

When a law or regulation is described as "kehtestatav," it means that it has been formally adopted and meets all the necessary legal requirements to be effective. This implies that it can be enforced by the relevant authorities and that individuals or entities are obligated to comply with its provisions. The term signifies that a rule is not merely a proposal or a draft but has reached a stage where it has legal force.

In practice, "kehtestatav" refers to the status of a legal act or administrative decision. For instance, a government decree or a municipal bylaw becomes "kehtestatav" upon its official publication or promulgation, as prescribed by law. This ensures transparency and allows those affected by the rule to be aware of their obligations. The concept is crucial for the functioning of a legal system, as it distinguishes between proposed measures and those that are actively in force and can be relied upon.
