megbízáson

Megbízás is a Hungarian legal term that translates to mandate or agency. It refers to a contractual relationship where one party, the principal (megbízó), entrusts another party, the agent (megbízott), with the performance of a specific task or a series of tasks. The agent acts on behalf of the principal and is expected to carry out the entrusted duties diligently and in accordance with the principal's instructions.

This type of contract is common in various legal and business contexts. For example, a client might give a megbízás to a lawyer to represent them in court, or a company might grant a megbízás to a real estate agent to sell a property. The scope of the megbízás can vary widely, from simple, one-off tasks to ongoing responsibilities.

Key characteristics of a megbízás include that it is typically based on trust and confidence between the parties. The agent is usually entitled to remuneration for their services, though the specifics are often detailed in the contract. If no remuneration is specified, it is often presumed to be based on the usual fees for such services. The principal has the right to supervise the agent's activities and can revoke the megbízás at any time, though certain conditions might apply. Similarly, the agent can also terminate the contract, usually with reasonable notice. The megbízás is governed by the Hungarian Civil Code, which outlines the rights and obligations of both the principal and the agent.
