nõuete

Nõuete is an Estonian term that refers to claims, demands, or requirements. It is used in legal, administrative, and contractual language to describe what a party asserts or requires, as well as the standards that must be met.

In legal contexts, a nõue is a claim brought by a plaintiff against a defendant, such as a demand for payment, performance, or another remedy. The term appears in phrases like filing a nõue (nõuete esitamine) and in discussions of whether a court approves or dismisses a nõue. In civil procedure, the analysis centers on the validity, scope, and amount of the asserted nõue, as well as the evidence supporting it.

In contracts and business, nõue can denote obligations or conditions that parties must satisfy. For example, contractual terms may specify certain nõuded or standards that must be met during performance. The fulfillment of these requirements is described with phrases like nõuete täitmine, meaning the completion or compliance with the stipulated terms.

In regulatory and standards contexts, nõuete define minimum criteria that products, services, or processes must meet to be considered compliant. Organizations may publish lists of nõuded to guide compliance, quality assurance, and risk management.

Nõuete is inflected within Estonian grammar, and its form appears in compounds and possessive constructions (for example, as part of terms like nõuete esitamine or nõuete täitmine). Understanding the term involves recognizing its broad application to claims, demands, and requirements across law, contracts, and regulation.
