Büntetügyekben

Büntetügyekben is a Hungarian legal phrase describing matters that pertain to criminal cases. In legal writing it signals that a statement, action, or consideration falls within the domain of criminal law and criminal proceedings. The term is used to delimit the scope of discussion to issues arising from crimes, investigations, prosecutions, or court proceedings.

The expression is distinct from related terms such as büntetőeljárásban, which means in criminal proceedings, and büntetőjogban, which means in criminal law. Büntetügyekben functions as a broad scope descriptor indicating that the topic concerns criminal cases rather than civil, administrative, or regulatory matters. It often appears in judgments, regulatory documents, academic articles, and official communications to frame the context.

In practice, büntetügyekben can modify nouns or clauses to specify that a particular rule, ruling, or procedure applies to criminal cases. Examples of contexts include investigations and prosecutions, court decisions, defense and prosecution arguments, and policy discussions addressing issues arising in criminal cases. Note that the standard spelling in Hungarian is büntetőügyekben; büntetügyekben is a variant form that may appear in older texts or non-standard spellings. In formal legal writing, precise terms such as büntetőeljárás, büntetőjog, and büntetőügyek are used to convey specific aspects of the criminal law system, while büntetügyekben remains a general scope descriptor.
