Eljárásjogi

Eljárásjog, also known as procedural law or adjective law, refers to the set of rules that govern how legal proceedings are conducted in courts and other legal forums. It dictates the steps that must be followed from the initiation of a case to its final resolution. Unlike substantive law, which defines rights and obligations, eljárásjog focuses on the process through which these rights and obligations are enforced or determined.

Key aspects of eljárásjog include rules regarding jurisdiction, pleadings, evidence, trial procedures, appeals, and enforcement of judgments. For example, it outlines how a lawsuit is filed, what kind of evidence is admissible, how witnesses are examined, and the timeframe for appealing a decision. The aim of eljárásjog is to ensure fairness, impartiality, and efficiency in the administration of justice. It seeks to provide a predictable and orderly framework for resolving disputes, protecting the rights of all parties involved, and upholding the rule of law. Eljárásjog can differ significantly between legal systems and across different types of proceedings, such as civil, criminal, administrative, or constitutional cases.
