PRIVATE LAW ISSUES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
PRIVATE LAW ISSUES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC

Summary/Abstract: In this paper I would like to discuss what changes and problems the Covid-19 epidemic hascaused in private law, particularly in the field of contract law. The most important questions are,on one hand, how the state may have intervened in private law. There is a historical precedent forthis practice within each European legal system. On the other hand, how the contracting partiesrespond to the challenges posed by the epidemic. The third question is, for example, what solutionscan be found in Hungarian private law to solve contractual problems. In examining these issues, Iuse certain provisions of European private law, as well as review the established case law. As aresult of my paper, parties to a contract can gain insight into some of the legal issues surroundingthe case and learn about possible solutions in Hungarian contract law.
