Hatáskörfeladatkör

Hatáskörfeladatkör is a Hungarian legal and administrative term that translates roughly to "scope of authority and competence." It refers to the range of powers, duties, and responsibilities vested in a particular organ, official, or institution within a legal or administrative framework. Understanding hatáskörfeladatkör is crucial for determining who can make decisions, what actions they are empowered to take, and the extent of their accountability.

The concept distinguishes between "hatáskör" (authority or power) and "feladatkör" (tasks or duties). Hatáskör typically denotes the legal basis and extent of a body's power to act, issue directives, or make binding decisions. Feladatkör, on the other hand, outlines the specific functions, responsibilities, and objectives that the body is expected to fulfill. These two aspects are intrinsically linked; the tasks assigned (feladatkör) generally define the authority required (hatáskör) to perform them effectively.

In practice, the hatáskörfeladatkör of an entity is usually defined by legislation, statutes, or other official regulations. This precise definition prevents ambiguity and ensures that actions taken are legally sound and fall within the designated purview of the acting body. When an organ or individual acts outside their defined hatáskörfeladatkör, their actions may be deemed invalid or unlawful. This principle is fundamental to the rule of law and the proper functioning of public administration and legal systems.
