kieltomääräys

Kieltomääräys is a Finnish legal term that translates to a prohibition order or injunction. It is a judicial or administrative decision that forbids a specific action or behavior. Kieltomääräys can be issued in various contexts, including civil law, criminal law, and administrative law.

In civil law, a kieltomääräys might be granted to prevent a party from engaging in certain activities, such as infringing on intellectual property rights, harassing another person, or continuing a specific business practice deemed unlawful. The purpose is often to protect the rights and well-being of individuals or entities.

In criminal proceedings, a kieltomääräys can be used as a pre-trial measure to restrict the accused's contact with victims or witnesses, or to prevent the destruction of evidence. It can also be imposed as a condition of bail or as part of a sentence.

Administrative law may utilize kieltomääräys to enforce regulations or to halt activities that pose a risk to public health, safety, or the environment. For example, an authority might issue a prohibition order to stop an illegal construction project or to prevent the use of a product deemed unsafe.

A kieltomääräys is typically issued by a court or a relevant authority after considering the presented evidence and arguments. There are usually procedures for appealing or challenging a kieltomääräys if a party believes it has been wrongly issued. The specific requirements and consequences of a kieltomääräys vary depending on the legal framework and the nature of the prohibited action.
