Some Issues Regarding Fraud in the First Hungarian Criminal Code

Summary/Abstract: The first Criminal Code is always of paramount importance in the life of a nation. Not only because written law, especially criminal law, has been in demand by society from the outset, but also because it is crucial for applying the law, the justice system must also adapt to this. The first Hungarian Criminal Code – the Csemegi Code – met this expectation. The following study focuses on one of the fundamental delicts of property crimes: fraud. We present the questions that the codifier had to answer, then the result of this thinking. Finally, we look at the first amendment to the Csemegi Code, which affected the crime in several respects. The study is based primarily on descriptive, historical and comparative methods, and we try to approach the subject of our study from a theoretical and practical point of view at the same time.
