toimeksisaajalle

Toimeksisaajalle is the allative form of the Finnish noun toimeksisaaja. In Finnish legal and contractual language, toimeksisaaja refers to a person who acts on behalf of another (the principal) as an agent or mandatary. The allative ending -lle marks the recipient or the direction toward someone, so toimeksisaajalle means “to the agent” or “for the agent.”

In ordinary use, toimeksisaaja denotes someone authorized to perform tasks within the scope of a mandate (toimeksianto). The allative form toimeksisaajalle is used when the agent is the recipient of something, such as a payment, a notice, or a communication. The phrase does not describe a new role; it simply specifies the recipient in a sentence or clause.

Legal context and function: In Finnish law, the relationship between a principal (toimeksiantaja) and an agent (toimeksisaaja) is governed by the mandate. The agent is authorized to act in the principal’s interests within the given limits. When texts refer to things directed to the agent, the allative form is used, for example in provisions about payments to the agent or notices addressed to the agent. The use of toimeksisaajalle helps clarify who the recipient is in contractual and legal communications.

Examples:

- Maksu maksetaan toimeksisaajalle. (Payment is made to the agent.)

- Ilmoitus toimitettiin toimeksisaajalle. (The notice was delivered to the agent.)

- Toimeksiantaja antaa toimeksisaajalle seuraavat tehtävät. (The principal assigns the following tasks to the agent.)
