Rendeletnek

Rendeletnek is a Hungarian legal term that translates most directly to "decree" or "ordinance" in English. It refers to a type of legal act issued by a public authority, typically a minister, a government body, or sometimes a local government. Rendeletnek possesses the force of law within its specific scope of application. The issuance of a rendeletnek is usually based on a framework set by a higher-level law, such as an act of parliament (törvény). This means that a rendeletnek cannot contradict or go beyond the provisions of the parent law. Its purpose is often to provide detailed regulations, implement specific aspects of a broader law, or to establish rules for the day-to-day functioning of a particular sector or administrative area. Rendeletnek are subject to judicial review to ensure their legality and constitutionality. The specific authority empowered to issue a rendeletnek and the precise scope of its application are defined by Hungarian constitutional and administrative law.
