Kötelezettségvállalás

Köteltségvállalás, also known as assumption of liability, is a legal concept that involves taking on responsibility for a debt, obligation, or other legal liability. This can occur in various contexts, such as in contracts, family law, or criminal law. The person who assumes the liability is known as the assumer, while the person whose liability is assumed is called the obligor.

In contract law, an assumer can take on the obligations of a contract without the obligor's consent. This is often referred to as novation. For example, if Party A and Party B have a contract, and Party C assumes Party A's obligations, Party C becomes the new obligor, and Party A is released from the contract.

In family law, a parent can assume the legal responsibility for a child, such as in cases of adoption or guardianship. This means the parent takes on the rights and obligations associated with being a legal guardian.

In criminal law, a person can be held responsible for another's actions, a concept known as vicarious liability. This can occur when one person is held accountable for the actions of another, such as an employer being held liable for the actions of an employee.

Köteltségvállalás is a fundamental concept in law, providing a mechanism for transferring legal responsibilities between parties. It is governed by specific legal principles and procedures, which vary depending on the jurisdiction and the context in which it occurs.
