  • The relationship between the prohibition of forced labour and the prohibition of discrimination in the case-law of the European Court of Human Rights
    Views:
    66

    The European Convention on Human Rights sets forth a number of fundamental rights and freedoms, including prohibition of slavery and forced labour (Article 4.) and the prohibition of discrimination (Article 14.). However, the European Convention on Human Rights prohibits discrimination only in relation to the enjoyment rights protected in the text of the Convention and did not originally include a provision proclaiming the equality of all before the law. As the European Court of Human Rights stated in Abdulaziz case: „Article 14 ... has no independent existence since it has effect solely in relation to „the enjoyment of the rights and freedoms” safeguarded by those provisions. Although the application of Article 14 does not necessarily presuppose a breach of those provisions - and to this extent it is autonomous -, there can be no room for its application unless the facts at issue fall within the ambit of one or more of the latter.”

    In this study we examine only the relationship between Article 4. and Article 14 of the Convention. There is only one case, in which the applicant could call upon Article 4 and Article 14 together with success before the European Court of Human Rights: the case of Van der Mussele versus Belgium. For this reason we introduce not only this basic case, but lots of other cases, in which there were no discrimination in connection with Article 4. The applicants should find another group of persons are in analogous situations, which worsens the position of applicants seriously because of the difficulty of this condition.

    In the above mentioned Van der Mussele case the applicant Belgian lawyer stated that Belgian lawyers are subject to less favourable treatment than that of members of a whole series of other professions, because in legal aid cases lawyers have to work without any remuneration, but the State accords remuneration to judges, registrars and interpreters in these cases. The Court emphasized that everybody could know the conditions of a profession in advance, and in the light of these conditions could choose it or not, and nobody compelled the applicant to be a lawyer. For this reason legal aid cases cannot be considered as forced labour, independently the remuneration of these cases.

  • The role of interest in civil processes

    The study reviews the enforcement of various interest-related claims in civil litigation and their special litigation rules, emphasizing that there are few specific norms in the Code of Civil Procedure from a procedural point of view compared to the enforcement of pecuniary claims. The study compares the interest provisions of the Act III. of 1952 and the Act CXXX of 2016, and seeks to provide adequate answers to enforcement issues arising from regulatory gaps. The article states that the law generally sets out some specific procedural provisions for contributions to be enforced together with the principal claim, which are also subject to interest as a contribution to the principal claim. The number of purely interest-specific provisions in our current law is negligible. The analysis covers the following specific legal provisions concerning interest: the amount in dispute, appeal against the interest provisions of the judgment at first instance, the admissibility at second instance of an increase of the claim for payment of interest, the admissibility of an application for review only of the provisions of a final judgment concerning interest. The study evaluates trends in court practice through analysis of ad hoc court decisions. The author states that uniform and coherent case law is in the best interests of the claimants based on clear legal provisions.

  • Constitutional approach of social rights in Hungarian and international law

    The aim of the study is to demonstrate how many different legal approaches are there to the judgment of social rights. This varied approach lets us view the subject in several different perspectives, shading the evolving first impression.

    During my disquisition I analyzed how effective are the tools protecting social rights, that can help us to understand and accept the legal practice of the Hungarian Constitutional Court. Doing this by not only approaching the question through legal theory, but also aiming to synthesize it with economic reasoning through a legal filter.

    This complex approach creates the opportunity for a new platform of analysis when examining individually each social right.

  • The changes of the legal regime of tobacco advertisements in the laws of Hungary

    Since the change of the regime the economic role of advertisements has changed significantly. Advertising forms a considerable part of economic activities, the cost of which constitute a growing portion of the expenses of a given enterprise. The mass-appearance of advertisements has altered the relationship between consumers and advertisers, it has restructured consumption habits and the importance of advertising in media.

    The most significant modification of the Hungarian Advertising Act occurred by (Act I of 2001), which was in large passed with the consent of the advertising profession. The modification introduced the concept of deceptive advertisements, apparent comparative advertisements and special offers. Comparative advertisements were also regulated in a satisfactory way. However, several legal institutions were introduced as well, which should have been included in competition law. In the last two decades actions against unlawful advertisements were largely based on competition law, which restricts advertising activities violating fair competition in general. Advertising Decree and later the Advertising Act regulated the restriction of advertisements of certain goods and services, or defined the restrictions on certain advertising activities. Due to the modification, the role of Competition Act became less significant, since Advertising Act also contains most prohibitions on advertising activities that were defined in the Competition Act. In addition, in the case of violation of regulations on deceptive and comparative advertisements, Advertising Act denoted the Bureau of Competition and the court as chief acting powers, whereas the violation of rules on apparent comparative advertisements falls in the scope of the Consumer Protection Authority.

    What is more, the (Act I of 2001) “smuggled” the entire prohibition of tobacco advertisements into the Advertising Act, which totally contradicted with the opinion of advertising profession. Thus Hungary, similarly to France, joined the strictest practice in this question. It is also disputable whether such restrictions promote the fight against smoking, and it was certainly disadvantageous that legislation decided in the question without involving the profession, for which there had been no precedents so far.

    Heutzutage stehen literarische, wissenschaftliche und künstlerische Werke im Mittelpunkt der urheberrechtlichen Rechtsprechung und Literatur. Grund für die Aufmerksamkeit ist die technische Entwicklung und die Digitalisation. Diese unter urheberrechtlichem Schutz stehenden Werke spielen eine wichtige Rolle in der modernen Informationsgesellschaft. Die häufigste Form der Verwertung dieser Werke wird über das Internet realisiert. Neben der Erhöhung der Verwertung über das Internet erhöht sich auch die Zahl der Verletzungen des Urheberrechts, so müssen Verletzter mit wirksamen Rechtsfolgen konfrontiert werden.
    Der Urheber und der Berechtigte der mit dem Urheberrecht verbundenen Rechte kann bei einer Verletzung seiner Rechte zivilrechtliche, strafrechtliche, zollrechtliche und wettbewerbsrechtliche Ansprüche stellen.
    So lässt sich eindeutig feststellen, dass das System von Rechtsfolgen komplex ist. In diesem Artikel werden die strafrechtlichen Folgen geprüft. Der Artikel gibt einen allgemeinen Überblick über die anwendbaren strafrechtlichen Folgen nach ungarischem Recht und die relevanten Dokumente der Europäischen Union (Cyber Crime Convention, Entwurf der Richtlinie Nr. 2005/0127 (COD) über die strafrechtlichen Maßnahmen) und es werden auch Entwürfe der ungarischen Gesetzgebung vorgestellt. Im Fokus des Artikels steht die Prüfung des ungarischen Strafgesetzbuches mit Rücksicht auf den Entwurf der erwähnten Rechtlinie und es wird analysiert, wie das ungarische Gesetz modifiziert werden sollte.

    The study covers the most important rules regarding leave, with the aim of helping employees and employers deepen their knowledge of how to grant leave. In this context, the study covers what should be done with leave not granted until the end of the year, whether the economic interest of the employer can justify its interruption, whether and when it can be redeemed for money, and how long the request in this direction can be asserted, i.e. when it occurs the statute of limitations. Furthermore, it covers what the solution is in the event of the termination of the employment relationship, when the employee has taken less or even more leave than he or she would have been entitled to in proportion to the time, focusing on who needs to prove what to successfully enforce the claim, and what is the importance of it the employer's registration obligation. In addition to the European Union and domestic regulation of freedom, the study included some guiding decisions of the Court of Justice of the European Union and the Curia, on the basis of which the conclusion can be drawn that the courts try to give the correct interpretation of the legislation in the individual cases that come before them, which are precedents due to their nature, they are also binding in other matters.

    In this article an evergreen topic will be discussed again and certainly not for the last time ...

    After the presentation on the children of the information society,  the "Z" generation currently living its childhood , their specific problems and their living space, and after discussing the psychological and sociological background, legal history, and last but not least, the statistics,  I am looking for answers in my study such as what factors, data, precedents motivated the legislature to modify the punishable age for crime, furthermore, whether the more than three years since the entry into force of Law C of 2012 have confirmed the decision to be correct. I will also make mention of victims because of the considerable overlap between the perpetrator and the victim circles characterizing juvenile crime, showing the process which broadens the victims’ rights besides the ever stricter penal policy.

    Have hopes regarding the new regulations proven right? What else can the legislature do, and what can we do for our own children?

  • The special rules of retail and high priority significance lawsuits in civil procedure

    My paper is about the preferential significance and minor value actions special rules in the civil proceeding. These types of actions have several special rules compared to the general rules and have specialities compared to each. The specialities are multiple the most important is the sum in dispute. This is under 1 M florins in minor value actions and above 400 M florins in preferential significance values. These worths are too low in minor value actions and too high in preferential significance actions. This is proven by that there are almost no cases where these rules are adaptable.

    These rules are simple and easy to use it but not common in civil proceedings. It is mistake because these are useful rules and these would make the actions more simple.
