határozata

Határozata is the possessive form of határozat in Hungarian, meaning a resolution or decision belonging to a particular body or person. The term is used in legal and administrative language to refer to a formal decision issued by an authority, such as a municipality, court, government agency, or corporate body. For example, a város határozata denotes the city’s resolution, while a vállalat határozata refers to the company’s resolution. Határozata thus signals ownership or attribution of the resolution to the named issuer.

A határozat is a formal, binding decision. Its content typically includes the issuing body, the date and reference numbers, the factual basis and legal grounds, and the operative provisions. The operative part provides the concrete actions, permissions, obligations, or prohibitions, usually arranged in numbered points. Many határozatok also include an indokolás (reasoned justification) explaining why the decision was made; in some cases justification may be brief or omitted.

In practice, határozatok are used in public administration, judicial proceedings, and corporate governance. They are enforceable under the applicable laws and may be subject to appeal or review within prescribed procedures. The distinction between határozat and a more general döntés is subtle: határozat conveys a formal, legally binding document issued by an authority, whereas döntés can be broader and less formal.
