törvénykönyvekben

Törvénykönyvekben is a Hungarian term that translates to "in the codes" or "in the statutory laws." It refers to the body of written laws that have been formally enacted and organized into a systematic compilation, often referred to as a codex or code. These codes are comprehensive collections of legal rules governing various aspects of life and society within a particular jurisdiction.

In Hungary, as in many civil law countries, legal systems are heavily codified. This means that laws are typically organized into distinct codes, such as the Civil Code, the Criminal Code, the Commercial Code, and others. These törvénykönyvekben provide a structured and accessible framework for understanding and applying the law. They are the primary source of legal norms and serve as a foundation for judicial decisions and legal practice.

The process of creating and amending törvénykönyvekben involves legislative bodies, such as the National Assembly in Hungary. These codes are designed to be relatively stable but also adaptable to societal changes and evolving legal principles. When legal professionals or citizens refer to "törvénykönyvekben," they are typically indicating that a particular legal principle, right, or obligation is established and defined within these official compilations of statutory law. The term emphasizes the systematic and written nature of the law, distinguishing it from unwritten customs or case law alone.
