The article presents basic characteristics of the new Hungarian Civil Code adopted by the parliament on 11th February 2013, which will take effect from 15th March 2014 and supersede the first Civil Code from the year 1959. The new private law code is characterised by a monistic conception which integrates the whole law of obligations, covering both commercial and non-commercial obligations, regulation of companies and cooperatives, as well as family law. From the conceptual and system viewpoints the Hungarian Code is inspired by some foreign examples at national level, in particular by the Swiss ZGB, with which it shares the systematic arrangement of content (none of the codes has a general part). In terms of content the new Hungarian code is the continuation of existing legislation and case law and, in its innovated form, takes from it all items which have proved to be successful in the application practice. The new code also achieves the required degree of internationalisation and Europeanization. The authors of the code have drawn on the international and European legislation as well as on academic model proposals which won recognition from global experts. It can be stated that the new Hungarian Civil Code represents a modern national code of private law with European dimensions.
