pénzkövetelés

Pénzkövetelés is a Hungarian legal term that translates to "monetary claim" or "pecuniary claim" in English. It refers to a legal right that one party (the creditor) has to demand a specific sum of money from another party (the debtor). This claim typically arises from a contractual obligation, such as a loan, a sale of goods or services, or a tortious act that results in financial damage.

The existence and enforceability of a pénzkövetelés are governed by Hungarian civil law, primarily the Civil Code. A pénzkövetelés can be established through various legal grounds, including written agreements, court judgments, or statutory provisions. The creditor can enforce their claim through legal means, such as initiating a lawsuit, seeking a court order for payment, or pursuing debt collection procedures.

The debtor's obligation is to satisfy the claim within the agreed-upon terms or as determined by a court. Failure to do so can result in legal consequences, including interest accrual, enforcement actions against the debtor's assets, and potentially bankruptcy proceedings. The statute of limitations for pénzkövetelés varies depending on the nature of the claim and the applicable legal provisions. It is important for both creditors and debtors to understand their rights and obligations concerning monetary claims under Hungarian law.
