The names of acts are either unhyphenated compounds, e.g. avioliittolaki (“Marriage Act (1929/234)”), or noun phrases consisting of the word laki and a subsequent elative qualifier (-sta/-stä), e.g. laki eräistä asbestipurkutyötä koskevista vaatimuksista (“Act on Certain Requirements Concerning Asbestos Removal Work (684/2015)”). The official names of legal statutes adopted in plenary session following the same, normal procedure include:

• laki (“act”)
• kaari (“code”) (e.g. oikeudenkäymiskaari (“the Code of Judicial Procedure”))
• eduskunnan työjärjestys (“the Parliament's Rules of Procedure”)
