Jogszabályon

Jogszabályon is a locative form of the Hungarian noun jogszabály, which means a statute or regulation. The base word jogszabály denotes a binding normative act issued by a competent authority, and its locative form jogszabályon expresses location or context related to the statute, such as “on the statute” or “based on the statute” in grammatical constructions.

In Hungarian, -on/-en/-ön is a suffix used to form the locative case, indicating position on or within something, or a contextual reference. The plural form is jogszabályokon, used for discussions involving multiple statutes. The term jogszabályon itself occurs mainly as part of larger phrases, especially in legal or administrative language, where it connects a noun to a descriptive element.

Usage notes and common patterns: in legal and formal Magyar, it is more natural to use phrases such as a jogszabály szerint (according to the statute) or a jogszabályban foglaltak szerint (in accordance with what is stated in the statute) rather than rely on the bare locative. Nevertheless, jogszabályon alapuló is a productive construction meaning “based on the statute.” For example: A jogszabályon alapuló kötelezettségek teljesítése kötelező. A szerződés a jogszabályon alapuló követelményeket tartalmazza. A jogszabályon belüli rendelkezések szerint kell eljárni.

Overall, jogszabályon is primarily a grammatical form used within broader legal wording, signaling a relationship to the statute as a source or location for rules and obligations.
