korvausasioissa

Korvausasioissa is a Finnish legal term used to refer to matters involving compensation or damages. It is a nominal expression that appears in legal and administrative texts to designate the subject area of a decision, claim, or inquiry.

Meaning and scope: The term combines korvaus, meaning compensation or indemnity, with asio( a plural form of asia), yielding “in compensation matters.” It does not denote a single legal concept, but rather a field that can include civil liability, insurance reimbursements, social security reimbursements, and other situations where compensation is sought or paid.

Usage: The phrase frequently appears in court decisions, rulings by administrative authorities, and in contracts or legal summaries to mark the domain of compensation issues. In practice, korvausasioissa guidance or rules from relevant statutes—such as tort law, contract law, or social security legislation—may apply, depending on the context.

Examples: Korvausasioissa vahingonkorvauslain säännöksiä sovelletaan. Hän vei asian korvausasioissa vakuutusyhtiölle. Käsittely korvausasioissa viivästyi hakemusten vuoksi. These example sentences illustrate how the phrase signals that the topics concern compensation matters.

Related terms: vahingonkorvaus (damages), korvaus (compensation), vahinko (loss/damage), oikeudenkäynti (litigation), hallintomenettely (administrative procedure).

See also: Vahingonkorvauslaki (law governing damages) and other statutes governing compensation schemes, depending on jurisdiction.
