kéreltetting

Kéreltetting is a Hungarian term that can be translated as "requesting the submission of evidence" or "discovery." In a legal context, it refers to a procedure where a party to a lawsuit asks the court to order another party to produce documents, provide testimony, or otherwise disclose relevant information. This process is a crucial part of pre-trial proceedings, allowing parties to gather information necessary to build their case or prepare for trial.

The purpose of kérelmettetting is to ensure a fair and transparent legal process. By requiring parties to share relevant information, it helps to prevent surprises during the trial and allows for a more thorough understanding of the facts. It is a mechanism for discovering evidence that might not otherwise be accessible to a party.

The procedure typically involves a written request filed with the court. The requesting party must specify the information or evidence they seek and explain its relevance to the case. The party from whom the information is requested then has an opportunity to respond, potentially objecting to the request on various grounds, such as relevance or privilege. The court will then review the request and any objections and decide whether to grant or deny the order for submission. If the court orders the submission of evidence and the party fails to comply, there can be legal consequences.
