lakkauttamiseen

Lakkauttaminen is the Finnish noun that denotes the act of abolishing, terminating, or dissolving an organization, a law, a program, or a service. The form lakkauttamiseen is the illative case of this noun and is used to express direction toward abolition, a purpose related to abolishing something, or the object of a process. For example, valmistelut lakkauttamiseen means preparations for abolition, and lakkauttamiseen liittyvät toimenpiteet means measures related to abolition.

In practice, lakkauttaminen is most often encountered in legal, administrative, and organizational contexts. It can refer to dissolving a company or association, terminating a public service, or repealing a law or regulation. The term is common in formal or official language and is associated with structured procedures, decisions by bodies such as a board, parliament, or regulatory authority, and the handling of consequences for employees, creditors, and stakeholders.

The concept is distinguished from related terms by its emphasis on formal ending of an entity’s legal status. Lopettaminen generally means simply stopping operations or ending activities, possibly without altering legal status, while purkaminen refers more broadly to breaking apart or dissolving a contract, partnership, or structure. Lakkauttaminen, as a policy or legal process, implies a formal decision and often a regulated process to terminate and wound up the entity or regime in question.

Examples:

- Valmistelut lakkauttamiseen ovat käynnissä. (Preparations for abolition are under way.)

- Lakkauttamiseen liittyvät toimenpiteet ovat voimassa. (Measures related to abolition are in effect.)
