Büntetjogilag

Büntetjogilag is a Hungarian legal term that translates to "criminally" or "in a criminal law sense." It is used to distinguish matters pertaining to criminal law from other areas of law, such as civil law or administrative law. When an action or a situation is described as büntetjogilag, it signifies that it falls under the purview of criminal statutes and is subject to the procedures and penalties established by the Hungarian criminal code.

For example, a person might be investigated büntetjogilag if they are suspected of committing a crime. The determination of guilt or innocence, and any subsequent punishment, would then be handled by the criminal justice system. This contrasts with civil litigation, where disputes are typically between private parties and remedies often involve monetary compensation or injunctions, rather than imprisonment or criminal sanctions. The term emphasizes the specific legal framework governing offenses against the state or society.
