ABSTRACT
This book provides a concise and analytical introduction to private international law in Hungary: international jurisdiction of courts, choice of law (applicable law) and the recognition and enforcement of foreign judicial decisions. It presents both Hungarian conflicts rules and their judicial practice and the application of EU conflicts rules by Hungarian courts.
In the last two decades, the overwhelming part of PIL shifted to the EU level. Still, national PILs have remained the primary sources in quite a few fields and in the fields where they did not it is still the national judiciary that turns the European ‘law in books’ into ‘law in action’. This monograph provides an analysis of both aspects from a Hungarian perspective. First, Hungarian PIL was recodified in 2017 and the book provides an account of how European and national conflicts rules coexist, interact and symbiose. Second, it provides a comprehensive analysis of the application and interpretation of EU PIL by the Hungarian judiciary.
