cselekvképességét

The Hungarian term "cselekvőképességét" translates to "legal capacity" or "capacity to act" in English. It refers to an individual's legal ability to enter into binding contracts, make valid decisions, and undertake other legal actions. This capacity is generally presumed for adults unless legal limitations are imposed due to factors such as mental incapacity, intoxication, or minority status.

In Hungarian law, cselekvőképességét is a fundamental concept determining an individual's rights and responsibilities in legal and civil matters. A person who possesses cselekvőképességét can be held accountable for their actions and is legally recognized as capable of consenting to agreements, managing their own affairs, and participating in legal proceedings. The absence of this capacity can render certain actions or agreements voidable or invalid.

The assessment of cselekvőképességét typically considers a person's mental state and their understanding of the consequences of their actions at the time a legal act is performed. This concept is crucial for ensuring fairness and order within the legal system, protecting vulnerable individuals, and upholding the validity of contractual obligations and other legal transactions.
