säädöspohjaisista

Säädöspohjaisista refers to a legal concept in Finland related to regulations and statutes. It signifies that a particular action, decision, or right is based upon or derived from a specific legal provision or regulation. In essence, when something is säädöspohjainen, it means it has a legal foundation in written law.

This concept is crucial in understanding the framework of Finnish law. It highlights the principle of legality, where all governmental and administrative actions must have a basis in law. For example, a citizen's right to a certain social benefit might be säädöspohjainen if it is explicitly defined in a law. Similarly, a public authority's power to impose a fine would be säädöspohjainen if that power is granted by a statute.

The term emphasizes the importance of clarity and predictability in the legal system. Citizens and entities can refer to specific laws and regulations to understand their rights and obligations. This ensures that decisions are not arbitrary but are made in accordance with established legal principles. When evaluating the legality of an administrative decision, one often looks for its säädöspohjainen nature, meaning whether it can be traced back to a valid legal provision.
