Abstract

This article is the shortened version of the national report submitted to International Academy of Comparative Law. It summarizes and describes the present situation of the Hungarian Private International Law by analyzing the Law Decree No. 13 of 1979 on Private International Law (hereafter referred to as Code). The Law Decree is the first legal instrument in the history of the Hungarian PIL which has been modified significantly with the aim of harmonization with European Law since 2004. The major part of the article deals with defining the different aspects of theoretical approach which provides a profound interpretation of Hungarian PIL in scientific terms. On the other hand, the applied scientific approach serves as a guideline for filling legal gaps in the Hungarian PIL Code. In addition to this, the article gives an overview of the Hungarian judicial application of PIL rules emphasizing the eclectic and contradictory character of the jurisdiction in Hungary.
