kieltomääräyksiin

Kieltomääräykset, often translated as prohibition orders or injunctions, are legal instruments used in Finland to prevent certain actions or behaviors. These orders are typically issued by a court or an administrative authority. The primary purpose of a kieltomääräys is to protect individuals or the public from harm, disturbance, or illegal activities.

The grounds for issuing a kieltomääräys vary depending on the context. For instance, in civil law, a court might issue a prohibition order to prevent a person from harassing another individual, or to stop a company from engaging in anti-competitive practices. In criminal proceedings, a court may issue a prohibition order to restrict a suspect's contact with victims or witnesses, or to prevent the destruction of evidence. Administrative authorities, such as the police or social services, can also issue temporary prohibition orders in urgent situations, for example, to remove a child from a dangerous environment or to stop a public nuisance.

Compliance with a kieltomääräys is legally binding. Failure to adhere to a prohibition order can result in legal consequences, including fines or even imprisonment, depending on the severity of the violation and the specific legislation under which the order was issued. The duration of a kieltomääräys can be temporary or permanent, and it can be appealed by the party against whom it is directed. The legal framework governing kieltomääräykset ensures that they are used judiciously and proportionate to the risks they aim to mitigate.
