Képviseleten

Képviseleten is a Hungarian word that translates to "representation" or "acting on behalf of" in English. It refers to a legal or practical situation where one person or entity (the representative) acts and makes decisions for another person or entity (the principal). This can occur in various contexts, including business, law, and personal matters.

In a legal context, képviseleten is often established through a formal agreement, such as a power of attorney, which grants the representative specific authority to act for the principal. This can include managing financial affairs, entering into contracts, or making legal decisions. The scope of the representation is typically defined by the terms of the agreement.

In a business setting, képviseleten might involve a company appointing an agent or distributor to represent its products or services in a particular region. This representative then engages with customers and conducts business on behalf of the company. Similarly, in political spheres, a representative is elected to act on behalf of their constituents in a legislative body.

The core principle behind képviseleten is that the representative is authorized to bind the principal. This means that actions taken by the representative within the scope of their authority are legally considered to have been taken by the principal themselves. Therefore, the trust and competence of the representative are crucial for the effective functioning of képviseleten. The principal remains ultimately responsible for the actions of their representative.
