Transfer of Contract in Hungarian Law

Legal Concerns and Inconsistencies in the Judicial Practice


Transfer of contract as legal succession

The transfer of a contract is a legal succession. The concept of succession in German law was defined by Savigny. In the Systems des heutigen römischen Rechts, Savigny focused on three conceptual elements in examining whether a change constitutes a succession. The first aspect is whether the identity of the legal relationship is maintained, i.e. whether the same right over the same property is involved. The second consideration is whether the subsequent right directly succeeds the prior right. Lastly, the third conceptual element, as a criterion for distinguishing the right from the original acquisition, is whether the right to be acquired depended on the rights of the predecessor in title.1

Péter Gárdos’s book delves into the realm of contract transfer within the context of the Hungarian Civil Code. With a keen eye on legal evolution, Gárdos traces the genesis of the Code's provisions, revealing surprising complexities that emerged despite prior court recognition of the transfer of contract practices. In response to ensuing uncertainties, the legislator enacted revisions and supplementary regulations, which paradoxically engendered further ambiguity.

Gárdos's comprehensive analysis navigates through this legal landscape, offering invaluable insights into the legislative rationale behind the Hungarian Civil Code and subsequent developments in legislation and case law. Building on the laws of various European countries and international instruments, the author not only interprets existing laws but also ventures into comparative studies across various European jurisdictions, enriching the discourse on contract law harmonization.
