tilapäismääräys

A tilapäismääräys, or temporary order, is a legal measure in Finnish law that can be issued by a court or authority. Its purpose is to establish a provisional arrangement or restriction pending a final decision in a legal matter. This type of order is intended to prevent harm, secure rights, or maintain the status quo during the proceedings.

Tilapäismääräykset can be sought in various legal contexts, including family law, civil disputes, and administrative cases. For instance, in a divorce case, a tilapäismääräys might be issued concerning child custody or the division of property to ensure stability for the family. In a civil dispute over a contract, it could temporarily prohibit one party from taking certain actions that could prejudice the outcome.

The process for obtaining a tilapäismääräys typically involves submitting an application to the relevant authority or court, often with supporting evidence. The decision is made based on a balance of probabilities, considering the urgency of the situation and the potential consequences for all parties involved. A tilapäismääräys is, by its nature, temporary and ceases to be in effect once a final judgment is rendered or the matter is otherwise resolved. It does not constitute a final determination of the legal rights or obligations in dispute.
