Legal Definitions - besluit

Definition: A besluit is a legislative resolution or decree in Roman-Dutch law.

Examples:

• The government issued a besluit to increase taxes on imported goods.
• The court's besluit was to award the plaintiff damages in the amount of $10,000.

These examples illustrate how a besluit is a decision made by a governing body or court that has the force of law. In the first example, the government's besluit to increase taxes will have an impact on businesses and consumers who import goods. In the second example, the court's besluit determines the outcome of a legal dispute and requires the defendant to pay damages to the plaintiff.
