Transfer of Contract in Hungarian Law

Legal Concerns and Inconsistencies in the Judicial Practice


Codified transfer of contract in some continental jurisdictions

The Italian civil code (hereinafter: Codice civile) provides by an express rule that the party leaving the contract and the party entering into the contract agree to assign the contract with the consent of the party remaining in the contract, provided that the contract has not yet been performed.1 Italian law also provides that consent may be given in advance, in which case the succession takes place, as a general rule, with the knowledge of the party remaining in the contract.2 The transfer of the contract results in a succession. However, the remaining party may decide that, in the absence of performance by the party entering into the contract, the party leaving the contract will be liable for the debts of its successor.3 In addition, the remaining party may enforce against the new party all its objections under the contract. It may not, however, raise any objections arising out of its other relations with the party leaving the contract unless it has expressly reserved those objections at the time of its consent to the assignment.4

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.
