  The liability of material effects and warranty are classic legal institutions of civil law and they are both important in the field of consumer law. The present study essentially considers the regulatory system of these jurisdictions in Hungary.

  The review starts with the private-law cases, developed at the begining of the 20th century, wich legislative provisions finally remained outside of scope. Then the Code Civil of 1959 and the Code Civil of 2013 are assessed in the review. The study does not cover the examinition of the provisions of the lower level of legislation, such as the „ warranty based on legislation compulsorily”.

  The essay focuses mainly on identifying the specifities, potential shortcomings and the shortcomings of the regulatory models used in our country. It also seeks to find the points of turn and the points of motivations, of legal policy that have made significant changes in the lives of the legal institutions.

  On the bases of this reasoning, the next tematica is observed in the test. The first large structural element is described in a description of the 1900s, 1913 and 1928 private-law codices, wich have shown a significant similarity in terms of the legal institutions.

   

  Then it follows with the introduction of Code Civil of 1959. The point of view of the legal intitutions the code was modified only two times during its long term. The first modification was in 1977, the secound in 2003 with regard to the harmonisation of European Union law.

   

  Finally comes the summary of the current Code Civil, wich has enacted some innovations in the aspect of the topic. Altough previous legislation wich based on the harmonisation has not been required significant reforms.

  Egy új jogi szabályozás megjelenésekor adott a lehetőség az elméleti és gyakorlati szakemberek számára, hogy a korábbi normaszöveghez történő hasonlítással tárják fel és elemezzék a változásokat. A Polgári Törvénykönyvről szóló 2013. évi V. törvény (Ptk.) nem vitásan érinti a civiljog teljes spektrumát, új elemekkel frissítve a már kialakult magánjogi intézményrendszert. Jelen írás a termékszavatosság szabályainak elemző bemutatására tesz kísérletet.

  A magyar jogi szabályozásban előzmények nélküli jogintézményről van szó, ezért a meghatározó jellemzők bemutatása más, a hibás teljesítéshez kapcsolódó jogintézményekhez történő hasonlítással történik meg. Ennek során a kiindulási alapot a hibás teljesítésből eredő igények „anyajogának” tekinthető kellékszavatosság jelenti, ezen túlmenően a hibás teljesítéssel okozott károk megtérítésére (a továbbiakban: kártérítés), valamint termékfelelősségre vonatkozó szabályok kapnak szerepet.

  A termékszavatosságra vonatkozó rendelkezések a Ptk.-nak a kötelmi jogi szabályokat tartalmazó hatodik könyvében, annak XXIV. fejezetében, a hibás teljesítésre vonatkozó rendelkezéseknél szerepelnek a kellékszavatosságra és kártérítésére vonatkozó szabályokkal együtt. A hibás teljesítésből eredő fogyasztói igények körében további igényérvényesítési lehetőséget teremtő termékfelelősségi szabályok ettől eltérően a szerződésen kívül okozott kárért való felelősséggel szabályai között, a LXXII. fejezetben kaptak helyet.

  The FIDIC Books made by the International Federation of Consulting Engineers provides different contract samples for construction projects, depending on the type of the project, with the primary aim of summarising best practice and proportionate risk-sharing. FIDIC Books are considered to be the most popular contractual conditions worldwide in connection with construction projects. The Yellow Book is the second most commonly used contract sample, the essence of which is that the contractor’s obligation covers both planning and building. In case of construction contracts lack of conformity is one of the most common breach of contract, so it is of particular importance for the parties to know what warranty rights the customer can exercise and under what conditions. Warranty rights are also provided for in the Yellow Book, which is why in certain cases there is competition between the Hungarian Civil Code and the Yellow Book, which makes it difficult to draw up a contract, bearing in mind that the rules of the Yellow Book are often difficult to interpret because of their Anglo-Saxon origin. After outlining the views on the interpretation of the Yellow Book, the study will examine the relevant rules of the Hungarian Civil Code and the Yellow Book from a comparative legal point of view, with a view to identifying the cases of lack of conformity under the Yellow Book, the available warranty rights and the procedures for their exercise by the customer. At the end of each chapter, the author presents the rules of the Hungarian Civil Code and the Yellow Book in comparative tables, and concludes the study by outlining the advantages and disadvantages for both the customer and the contractor.
