jogállású

jogállású is a Hungarian adjective used in legal and administrative language to indicate that a person, organization, or other subject possesses a defined legal status under the law. The word is formed from jog (law/right) and állás (status, position) with the suffix -ú, yielding roughly “having a legal status.” In practice, jogállású describes subjects that are recognized by law to have specific rights, duties, or capacities, as opposed to those without a recognized legal standing.

The term is commonly found in official documents, statutes, and administrative acts. It may be combined with various nouns to specify the category of status, for example jogállású személy (a person with a specified legal status), jogállású jogalany (a legal subject with rights and obligations), or jogállású szervezet (a legally recognized organization). In some contexts, phrases such as “különleges jogállású” or “általános jogállású” are used to emphasize whether the status is ordinary or special. The precise implications of a given jogállású designation depend on the relevant law and administrative rules, including entitlements, protections, or obligations.

Related concepts include legal status (jogállás) and legal capacity (jogi képesség). While the term is primarily found in Hungarian texts, its core idea—having a defined legal standing recognized by the state—has parallels in many legal systems.
