Péter Gárdos

Transfer of Contract in Hungarian Law

Legal Concerns and Inconsistencies in the Judicial Practice


a) Transfer of contract in the Act on Transition

The Act on Transition entered into force at the same time as the Civil Code. The purpose of the Act on Transition, according to the Minister’s explanatory memorandum, was “[...] to formulate transitional rules that show which civil code applies at a given time”. The general part of the explanatory memorandum to the Act on Transition made it clear that: “[i]t is in the interest of society that the entry into force of the Code should be carried out smoothly, while preserving the coherence of the legal system, in order to ensure the proper enforcement of the new private law regime. The rules of the new Code will raise questions concerning the temporal scope of the two sets of rules arising from the coexistence of the Civil Code and the earlier private law rules for many decades to come.”

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.
