Mulasztása

Mulasztása is a Hungarian noun that denotes the act or result of failing to perform a required action, i.e., an omission or neglect. It is formed from the verb mulasztani (to neglect, to miss, to fail to do something) with the suffix -ása that marks the action itself. The term is used in both everyday and formal language.

In legal and administrative contexts mulasztás refers to non-performance of duties or obligations. It can arise from missing a deadline, failing to submit information, or not carrying out mandated acts. The consequences depend on the nature of the duty and the applicable law; civil liability, administrative penalties, or other remedies may result from such an omission.

Mulasztása can describe both intentional and negligent failure, and the phrase "mulasztása miatt" is used to explain consequences caused by the omission. It can affect both individuals and organizations, reflecting how not acting when obliged to do so may have formal repercussions.

Related terms include mulasztás (the omission itself) and phrases such as mulasztási felelősség (liability for omission) in relevant legal contexts.
