Fellebbezésre

Fellebbezésre is a Hungarian legal term derived from fellebbezés, meaning an appeal. The form fellebbezésre is the allative/prepositional variant used in legal language to indicate the target or occasion of appealing—roughly translating to “to appeal” or “for appeal.” It is commonly found in statutes, court notices, and procedural texts to specify the purpose, scope, or time related to bringing an appeal.

In general use, fellebbezés means a procedural remedy by which a party challenges a decision issued by a lower court or authority. An appeal seeks review by a higher court and usually examines questions of law, and sometimes findings of fact, with the aim of upholding, reversing, or modifying the decision. The phrase fellebbezésre appears in clauses such as “fellebbezésre vonatkozó határidő” (deadline for appeal) or “fellebbezésre jogosult” (entitled to appeal), signaling who may appeal and within what framework.

Procedural context varies by matter (civil, criminal, administrative) and is governed by applicable procedural codes and statutes. The specific rules—such as who may file an appeal, what grounds are allowed, and the deadlines—are set by law and can differ across jurisdictions and case types. After a proper fellebbezésre, the appellate court reviews the decision and may uphold, reverse, remand, or modify it. The term therefore functions as a key linguistic marker in Hungarian legal texts for the act, right, or process of appealing a decision.
