This chapter examines the transposition of the Antitrust Damages Directive in Hungary. It begins with an overview of the transposition procedure, focusing on the Hungarian private enforcement landscape and the transposition process. In particular, it considers how the provisions implementing the Directive were built into the Hungarian Competition Act (HCA), creating a special regime that departs in certain aspects from the general principles of Hungarian civil law and civil procedure (e.g., access rules, calculation of damages). The chapter goes on to discuss the scope of the Hungarian implementing provisions as well as specific issues that arose during the transposition, including those relating to time-barring deadlines, binding force of decisions of other Member States, parent company liability, presumption and quantification of damages by cartels or other antitrust infringements, distribution of liability between co-infringers and right of return between co-infringers, access rules, collective redress, and organization of the judicial system.

The paper is devoted to the admissibility of recognition and enforcement of a judgment of a foreign court, the subject matter of which is recognition or declaration of enforcement of a judgment from yet another state (judgment on judgment). The issue is discussed in particular with reference to the public policy exception which constitutes a ground for refusal of recognition or enforcement of foreign judgments, both under Polish domestic law (the Code of civil procedure) and European law (Brussels I bis Regulation). It remains controversial whether the judgments on judgments should be recognized, thus benefiting from the so called “parallel entitlement”. The article takes a comparative approach, examining solutions adopted by various legal systems and analysing arguments for and against recognition of such decisions. The author takes the position that they should not be recognized (and that their enforceability should not be declared) in Poland, both under the Code of civil procedure (as with respect to judgments originating from non-EU states), as well as under EU legislation, in particular Brussels I bis Regulation. It is advocated that the concept of a “parallel entitlement” should be rejected.

This article explains in detail the rules on the obligations of the judge, the parties and their lawyers in civil litigation, prepared by a working group that was established within the context of a project on European Rules of Civil Procedure of the European Law Institute and UNIDROIT. These rules are grouped into several parts devoted to the overriding objective of the proposed rules, management and planning of the proceedings, the determination of facts, findings of law, and consensual dispute resolution. The suggested rules reflect best practices in European civil procedure.

The article provides an overview on the most important innovations of the new Hungarian Code of Civil Procedure. It presents a renewed system of allocation of cases, the split structure of the procedural phases, the modifications in connection of the representation, the new regulation on the illegaly obtained evidence, the solutions for incapacity to prove, the remedies and collective redress. Finally, the manuscript goes on with the question of electronization and try to evaluate the modest practical experience of these innovations so far.


This volume was developed as part of a cooperative project of the European Law Institute (ELI) and the International Institute for the Unification of Private Law (UNIDROIT), dealing with civil procedure law. The long-term project began in February of 2014 and ended in February of 2020, concluding in an ELI-UNIDROIT Instrument. The volume consists of the ELI-UNIDROIT Instrument on the European Rules of Civil Procedure, which features Rules and accompanying comments. It explores the diverse traditions in Europe concerning civil procedure law and aims to find a common thread in them. Therefore, it not only considers the similarities but also the differences in order to gain a solution that does not favour one legal system but combines aspects of all legal systems.
