The Non-application of Foreign Law under ­the General Part of the New Hungarian Private ­International Law Act

Abstract

Conflict of laws rules can lead to foreign law as the applicable law. However, it is not always the case that the designated foreign law will be applied at the end. Actually, one of the main questions of private international law concerns the non-application of the foreign law determined by the conflict of law rules. This contribution examines the general part of the new Hungarian Private International Law act in this regard, that is when and how the new Hungarian act can lead to the non-application of the foreign law.
