Kártérítésre

Kártérítésre is a Hungarian term that translates to "compensation" or "damages" in English. It refers to the legal obligation to pay for harm or loss caused to another party. This concept is fundamental in civil law, particularly in tort law and contract law.

In the context of tort law, kártérítésre arises when one person's wrongful act or omission causes injury or damage to another. This could include physical injury, property damage, or financial loss. The purpose of compensation is to restore the injured party to the position they would have been in had the wrongful act not occurred, as far as money can achieve this. The claimant must typically prove that the defendant acted negligently or intentionally, that this action caused the loss, and that the loss is quantifiable.

In contract law, kártérítésre can be sought when one party breaches a contract, causing financial losses to the other party. The compensation aims to cover the losses directly resulting from the breach. This can include lost profits or expenses incurred due to the non-performance of the contract. The specific terms of the contract may also define the scope and limits of compensation.

The process of seeking kártérítésre usually involves a legal claim, either through negotiation, mediation, or ultimately, litigation. Courts will assess the evidence presented to determine liability and the appropriate amount of compensation. Legal frameworks in Hungary, aligned with European Union law, provide the basis for these claims.
