Transfer of Contract in Hungarian Law

Legal Concerns and Inconsistencies in the Judicial Practice


Transfer of invalid contracts

Transfer of contract does not – as a rule – change the position of the parties if the contract is invalid, since the transfer does not turn an invalid contract into a valid one.1 There are two important exceptions to this rule: the parties may remedy the cause of invalidity by the transfer, and the cause of invalidity may be extinguished by the transfer. The invalidity may be remedied by the transfer if the invalidity does not affect the substance of the contract. Klimke also includes the case regulated under § 140 of the BGB when a void legal transaction meets the requirements of another legal transaction. In this case the latter transaction is deemed to have been entered into if it can be assumed that its validity would be intended if the invalidity were known.2

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.
