Megbízottként

Megbízottként is a Hungarian legal term that translates to "as an authorized representative" or "as a mandatary." It refers to a person who acts on behalf of another party based on a mandate or authorization. This relationship is typically established through a contract called a megbízási szerződés, or mandate contract.

In a megbízási szerződés, one party (the megbízó, or principal) tasks another party (the megbízott, or mandatary) with performing a specific action or a series of actions. The mandatary is generally expected to carry out these duties diligently and in accordance with the principal's instructions. Unlike an employment contract, a mandate contract does not typically establish an employer-employee relationship. The mandatary is often an independent contractor, responsible for their own taxes and social security contributions.

The scope of the mandate can vary widely, encompassing a broad range of activities. For example, a company might engage a megbízott to represent them in negotiations, to carry out a specific project, or to provide professional services. An individual might appoint a megbízott to manage their financial affairs or to handle legal matters. The terms of the mandate, including the duration, remuneration, and specific responsibilities, are all defined within the mandate contract. The megbízott must act within the limits of their authority and is accountable to the principal for their actions.
