lopullisuusmenetelmään

Lopullisuusmenetelmä refers to a Finnish legal concept and a method of judicial decision-making that emphasizes reaching a final and conclusive resolution to a dispute. It is rooted in the principle that legal proceedings should strive for certainty and a definitive end to litigation, avoiding endless appeals or re-litigation of the same issues. This principle aims to provide finality for the parties involved, allowing them to move forward with their lives or business affairs without the lingering uncertainty of ongoing legal challenges.

The application of lopullisuusmenetelmä can manifest in various ways within the Finnish legal system. It influences how courts interpret and apply statutes, how precedents are established and followed, and the rules governing appeals. The focus is on ensuring that once a matter has been thoroughly considered and decided by the appropriate judicial body, that decision should generally stand, unless there are exceptional circumstances or specific legal grounds for review. This approach promotes efficiency within the court system and upholds public trust in the judiciary by ensuring that legal outcomes are respected and generally irreversible. The method encourages thoroughness in initial proceedings to minimize the need for subsequent interventions.
