Büntetügyben

Büntetőügyben is a Hungarian legal term meaning “in a criminal case.” It designates the subject matter of a legal act or proceeding that concerns criminal law. The phrase is used in official documents, court decisions, judgments, and procedural notices to indicate that the matter falls under criminal proceedings rather than civil or administrative ones.

In practice, büntetőügyben appears in expressions such as büntetőügyben hozott ítélet (the judgment in a criminal case), büntetőügyben benyújtott fellebbezés (an appeal filed in a criminal case), and büntetőeljárás büntetőügyben folytatott eljárás (the criminal procedure conducted in a criminal case). It serves to mark the scope of the action, the jurisdiction of the court, or the relevance of procedural rules to the criminal matter at hand.

Relation to the legal framework: büntetőügyben signals that the discourse or decision pertains to a matter governed by büntetőjog (criminal law) and büntetőeljárás (criminal procedure). It helps distinguish criminal matters from civil, administrative, or other types of proceedings and clarifies which rules and standards apply.

The form büntetügyben may appear in contexts without diacritics or as a historical variant, but formal legal writing normally uses the diacriticised form. Overall, the term functions as a linguistic marker of the criminal law domain within legal texts.
