Kárpótlást

Kárpótlást refers to a legal concept in Hungarian law concerning compensation or restitution. It generally addresses situations where an individual or entity has suffered a loss, damage, or deprivation, and is entitled to receive a remedy. This remedy can take various forms, including financial compensation, the return of property, or the restoration of rights. The specific nature and extent of kárpótlást are determined by the circumstances of the case and the relevant laws.

The concept of kárpótlást is often applied in cases of expropriation or nationalization, where property is taken by the state. In such instances, the former owner may be entitled to compensation for the loss of their assets. It can also be relevant in civil litigation, where a party seeks damages for harm caused by another's wrongful actions. The legal framework surrounding kárpótlást aims to provide a mechanism for addressing injustices and restoring the injured party to a position as close as possible to what they would have been in had the harm not occurred. The process typically involves demonstrating the existence of a loss, establishing a causal link between the loss and the action or inaction of another party, and quantifying the appropriate compensation or restitution.
