Summary/Abstract: I intend to present in my paper the development of codification of conflict of interest, which is still a very important legal institution of Hungarian parliamentary system. The aim of my study is to discuss the codification procedure of the national assembly. We are dealing with a legal institution that was of outstanding significance for the whole society, since it was through the regulation of conflict of interest situations that the principle of the separation of powers could be implemented in practice. In the course of my project, I will examine the system of incompatibility in the late feudal period, which had an influence on the legislative process in the bourgeois era.
