täytäntöönpanopäätökset

Täytäntöönpanopäätökset, in Finnish law, refers to decisions that enforce a previously established legal obligation. These decisions are typically made by enforcement authorities, most commonly the Enforcement Office (ulosottoviranomainen). Their purpose is to ensure that court judgments, arbitration awards, or other legally binding decisions are actually carried out.

A täytäntöönpanopäätös can be initiated when a party who has a right to receive something, such as payment of a debt or possession of property, fails to receive it voluntarily. The enforcement authority then issues a täytäntöönpanopäätös, which outlines the steps to be taken to enforce the obligation. This might involve seizing assets, garnishing wages, or evicting a tenant.

The process usually begins with an application for enforcement (täytäntöönpanohakemus). The applicant must provide proof of the existing legal obligation, such as a court judgment. The enforcement authority then reviews the application and, if valid, issues the täytäntöönpanopäätös. The debtor is usually notified of the decision and has certain rights, including the possibility to appeal or object to the enforcement. The specific procedures and grounds for objection are detailed in Finnish enforcement law. The ultimate goal is to provide a legal mechanism for individuals and entities to realize their legally recognized rights when direct compliance is not forthcoming.
