säädöspykälät
Säädöspykälät, often translated as statutory provisions or legal clauses, are the individual numbered sections or articles within a piece of legislation. These provisions form the building blocks of laws, regulations, and ordinances. Each pykälä typically addresses a specific aspect of the subject matter covered by the overarching enactment, defining rights, obligations, prohibitions, procedures, or definitions.
The structure of legislation usually involves a hierarchy. A statute or a regulation is divided into chapters
The language used in säädöspykälät is precise and often technical, aimed at leaving no room for ambiguity.
