määräysoikeutetuns

Määräysoikeutetun is a Finnish legal term that translates roughly to "authorized by order" or "legally entitled by order." It refers to an individual or entity that has been granted specific rights or powers through a formal order, decree, or resolution issued by a competent authority. This authority could be a government body, a court, or another official institution.

The concept of määräysoikeutetun is distinct from rights derived from general law or contractual agreements. Instead, it signifies a specific authorization granted on a case-by-case basis or for a particular purpose. For example, a court might issue an order appointing a guardian for a minor, making that guardian a määräysoikeutetun with specific responsibilities and powers. Similarly, a government agency might issue an order granting a company permission to conduct certain activities, thereby making that company a määräysoikeutetun in that context.

The scope and limitations of the powers held by a määräysoikeutetun are defined by the terms of the order itself. Understanding the specific order is crucial to comprehending the extent of the authorized rights and obligations. This legal status typically implies a fiduciary duty to act in accordance with the issuing authority's intentions and within the bounds of the law. The term emphasizes that the entitlement is not inherent but bestowed through a formal directive.
