Kötelezettségszegés

"Kötelezettségszegés" is the Hungarian term for breach of contract or non-performance of an obligation. It refers to a situation where a party to a contract fails to fulfill their contractual duties. This failure can manifest in various ways, such as not delivering goods or services as agreed, providing substandard quality, or missing deadlines. In legal terms, a kötelezettségszegés occurs when a debtor (the party obligated) does not perform their obligation as required by the contract or the law.

The consequences of a kötelezettségszegés typically depend on the nature and severity of the breach. The non-breaching party (the creditor) may be entitled to remedies such as damages, specific performance, or termination of the contract. Damages often aim to compensate the injured party for the loss they suffered due to the breach. Specific performance is a court order compelling the breaching party to fulfill their contractual obligations. Termination of the contract releases both parties from their future obligations.

Proving kötelezettségszegés generally requires demonstrating the existence of a valid contract, the obligation that was to be performed, the failure to perform that obligation, and any resulting damages. Hungarian law, like many other legal systems, provides mechanisms for resolving disputes arising from such breaches, often through civil litigation or alternative dispute resolution methods. The specific legal framework and available remedies are governed by the Hungarian Civil Code.
