Péter Gárdos

Transfer of Contract in Hungarian Law

Legal Concerns and Inconsistencies in the Judicial Practice


The transferability of rights in general

Whereas the 1959 Civil Code did not regulate the transferability of rights in general, the Civil Code introduced a similar rule for rights as for claims. Just as claims are, as a general rule, transferable, the Civil Code also assumes that rights are transferable. The only difference is that, instead of the category of personal nature used for claims, the Civil Code draws the limits of transferability for rights by reference to the nature of the right. The Civil Code does not recognise the transferability of rights for which the non-transferability clearly follows from the nature of the right.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.
