tüzelképesség

Tüzelképesség refers to the legal capacity of an entity to have rights and obligations, and to act independently in legal transactions. This concept is distinct from the legal capacity of a natural person. In Hungarian law, tüzelképesség is a prerequisite for an entity to be considered a legal person or a legal entity. It means that the entity can be a party to a lawsuit, own property, enter into contracts, and be held responsible for its actions.

Entities that possess tüzelképesség are typically registered organizations such as companies, foundations, associations, and cooperatives. The acquisition of tüzelképesség usually occurs upon registration with the relevant authorities, such as the company registry. The scope of an entity's tüzelképesség is generally defined by its founding documents and the applicable laws governing its type of organization.

Without tüzelképesség, an entity cannot participate in legal life. For example, a business cannot open a bank account, hire employees, or sue another party if it lacks this legal standing. The concept ensures that legal relationships are established with clearly defined and legally recognized participants. The loss of tüzelképesség typically occurs through dissolution or liquidation proceedings.
