Abstract
The Draft of the New Hungarian Civil Code was submitted in the Parliament of the Hungarian Republic on 5 June 2008. The Parliament closed the discussion of the Bill on 10 March 2009 and the closing vote is now scheduled for June 2009. The complete details of the Bill were not known at the time of finalising this report because more than four hundred proposals for amendments of the Bill were submitted to Parliament during the discussions and further amendments are to be expected. At this stage of the law-making process it seems that the New Civil Code would not bring any dramatic changes in Hungarian tort law. The main attempt of the legislator was — at least as far as the proposed tort law regulation is concerned — to incorporate the court practice settled already and this attitude resulted in extremely limited ambitions in the course of revising the present regulation.
