sääntelyrikkomus

Sääntelyrikkomus refers to a violation of regulations or laws established by an authority. This can encompass a wide range of infractions, from minor administrative breaches to more serious offenses that carry legal consequences. The specific nature and severity of a sääntelyrikkomus depend on the governing legislation and the context in which the violation occurs.

In Finland, for example, sääntelyrikkomus is a legal term used to describe actions that contravene specific statutory provisions. These might relate to areas such as environmental protection, consumer rights, labor laws, or financial regulations. Unlike criminal offenses, sääntelyrikkomus often results in administrative penalties, fines, or other sanctions imposed by the relevant regulatory body. The intent behind the violation is not always a primary factor in determining whether a sääntelyrikkomus has occurred; often, strict liability principles apply, meaning that the act itself is sufficient for a violation to be established.

The purpose of having regulations and penalizing their violation is to ensure public safety, fair market practices, environmental sustainability, and overall societal order. When a sääntelyrikkomus is identified, authorities typically have established procedures for investigation, enforcement, and the imposition of corrective measures or penalties. This system aims to deter future non-compliance and uphold the integrity of the regulated systems.
