Visszatartási

Visszatartási refers to the act of withholding or detaining something, often in a legal or administrative context within Hungary. It can apply to various situations, including the withholding of payments, documents, or even individuals under specific circumstances.

In a financial or contractual sense, visszatartási may occur when a party believes the other party has not fulfilled their obligations. For instance, a buyer might engage in visszatartási of payment if the goods received are defective or if services were not rendered as agreed. This action is often governed by specific clauses within a contract or by relevant Hungarian civil law provisions. The purpose is typically to compel the other party to rectify the breach of contract or to compensate for damages.

Legally, visszatartási can also relate to the detention of individuals. This is most commonly seen in criminal proceedings, where authorities might detain a suspect pending investigation or trial. Such detentions are strictly regulated by law and must adhere to due process. Similarly, administrative bodies might have the power of visszatartási for specific purposes, such as ensuring compliance with regulations or preventing harm. The legal framework surrounding these measures aims to balance the interests of the state or parties involved with the fundamental rights of individuals. The term implies a temporary, often justified, withholding, with the expectation that the withheld item or person will eventually be released or that the situation will be resolved.
