THE RUSSIAN-UKRAINIAN CONFLICT FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF HUNGARIAN PRIVATE LAW

Summary/Abstract: In the present study, I wish to investigate what consequences the conflict between Ukrainean Russia, which began on February 24, 2022 has had so far and may have in the future on Hungarianprivate legal relations. The conflict itself is primarily related to international law, but its consequenceshave gradually extended to many areas of life. The war presents significant difficulties to theneighbouring countries, there is a shortage of certain goods or they can only be delivered withsignificant delay, which puts a strain on the production chains. In addition, there are certain financialissues, including the emerging inflationary pressure, which influence the national economies. In thefirst part of the study, I will examine general issues and possible developments in selected areas ofprivate law. Then, I consider the options provided by Hungarian contract law as well as other nationallaws for contracting parties whose contracts have been affected by the conflict. Finally, I look at howthe Ukrainian conflict has influenced Hungarian court practice so far.
