    In temporary agency work the relationship between the temporary work agency and the user-undertaking is often not adequately or correctly understood in the context of the processing of personal data. This leads to a deterioration of protection of personal data as well as labour market rights and obligations. The purpose of this study is to explore when we can speak about a controller- processor, a joint controller or a controller- controller relationship, which will clarify who has to implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure and to be able to demonstrate that the processing is performed in accordance with the Regulation.

    The law of fiduciary duty is as old as common law. It is the key element of the law of equity. The agency relationship creates a fiduciary relationship between the parties, which means that the fiduciary (agent) is subject to the direction of the one on whose behalf he acts (principal). This high standard of conduct – in the scope of the agency relationship – has become a separate liability form in the common law countries and has appeared not only in company law but in other parts of civil law as well. This paper presents the development and the basic elements of fiduciary duty in the field of general partnerships.

  • Foreign Loan: Cross-border temporary agency work in Hungary, with special regard to the employment of third-country nationals

    The special feature of temporary agency work is that the employee does not work for the agency which concludes the employment contract with them, but for a third party, the user company, with which the agency enters into a civil law contract for the remunerated transfer of workforce. The article summarises how an international element can appear in this tripartite employment relationship. It covers the rules under which an agency may conclude an employment contract with a foreign employee and also the cases where the agency and the user company are established in different states. Although Hungarian law generally prohibits third-country nationals to work in Hungary as agency workers, this is made possible by an expanding range of exceptions. The article explores the labour law and social security law situation of third-country agency workers in Hungary.
