At the beginning of the summer, the regulations governing the land registry in Hungary were amended, introducing significant changes affecting owners of so-called garden plots in the outskirts ( in Hungarian: “zártkerti ingatlanok”), such as weekend houses, garden homes, and similar plots. The practical benefits, however, will largely depend on the location and on whether the local municipality allows their application.

In the business world, it is not uncommon for a business partner to fail to pay their overdue debt or to repay a loan. So what legal options are available in such cases? Below, we summarize the most important legal remedies.

HR sci-fi is unfolding before our eyes: there is no doubt that HR technologies represent one of the fastest-evolving segments of digitalization and artificial intelligence. Today, it’s entirely common for candidates to be interviewed by AI chatbots, payroll processes to be assisted by AI-based software, and predictive analytics powered by AI to be used in workforce planning. While progress cannot be halted, it's essential to pay close attention to legal compliance requirements during this hyperspace-speed transformation—otherwise, poorly executed digitalization could lead to serious headaches.

The National Tax and Customs Authority of Hungary (NAV) has published its 2025 audit plan, which, similarly to the previous year, emphasizes a differentiated, risk-based approach. NAV continues to refine its audit selection process through the application of its vast data assets and artificial intelligence.
