õiguspäraseks

õiguspäraseks is an Estonian word that translates to "lawful," "legal," or "legitimate" in English. It is used to describe something that conforms to the law and is therefore considered valid and permissible. The term can be applied to a wide range of situations, including actions, processes, documents, and claims.

For example, a contract that has been properly drawn up and signed according to legal requirements would be considered õiguspäraseks. Similarly, a person who has obtained the necessary permits or licenses for a particular activity is acting õiguspäraseks. The concept emphasizes adherence to established rules and regulations.

In legal contexts, õiguspäraseks is crucial for ensuring fairness and order. It distinguishes between actions that are sanctioned by the state and those that are not. This distinction is fundamental to the functioning of any legal system. The opposite of õiguspäraseks would be illegal or unlawful.
