oikeusistuimien

Oikeusistuimet are judicial bodies responsible for reviewing cases involving procedurally or substantially unfair legal proceedings in Finland. The primary purpose of oikeusistuimet is to examine complaints regarding alleged irregularities in the administration of justice.

Established under the Finnish Code of Judicial Procedure, oikeusistuimet have the authority to order the nullification of proceedings or the re-examination of cases if they deem the original proceedings to have been unfair or defective. These bodies also investigate complaints related to the actions of judges and other judicial authorities.

Oikeusistuimet are composed of elected and appointed members, including judges, lawyers, and other experts in the field of law. The selection process aims to ensure a broad spectrum of expertise and experience. Once a complaint is referred to an oikeusistuimu, the body investigates the matter and makes a decision based on the given facts and applicable law.

The decisions made by oikeusistuimet are final and binding, and they may result in the nullification of proceedings or the re-examination of a case. If the original proceeding is deemed unfair, the oikeusistuimu may also order compensation for the parties affected.

Oikeusistuimet play an essential role in ensuring the integrity of the Finnish judicial system, promoting fairness and transparency in the administration of justice, and protecting the rights of individuals who might have been subjected to unfair or biased proceedings. Their activities are guided by the principles of justice, impartiality, and respect for the law.
