Kártérítésnél

Kártérítésnél is a Hungarian legal term that translates to "compensation" or "indemnity" in English. It refers to the legal obligation of a party to compensate another party for damages or losses suffered. This compensation can arise from various situations, including contractual breaches, tortious acts (civil wrongs), or statutory provisions.

The purpose of kártérítésnél is to restore the injured party to the position they would have been in had the damaging event not occurred. This is typically achieved through monetary compensation, although in some cases, other forms of redress might be considered. The assessment of the amount of compensation usually involves evaluating the extent of the actual damage, including direct financial losses, lost profits, and sometimes even non-pecuniary damages such as pain and suffering.

In Hungarian law, the concept of kártérítésnél is rooted in principles of civil liability. Liability can be based on fault (culpa), where the perpetrator acted negligently or intentionally, or it can be strict liability, where a person is held responsible regardless of fault, often in specific circumstances like dangerous activities. The burden of proof generally lies with the party claiming compensation to demonstrate the existence of the damage, the causal link between the act and the damage, and the extent of the loss. Legal proceedings concerning kártérítésnél can be complex and often require expert testimony to establish the facts and quantify the damages.
