The Rules on Employment Contracts and Collective Agreements and Their Power to Shape Employment Relations in Hungary Presented by: Prof. Dr. Jakab Date: 16 June 2023 Focus Points - Relationship between labor law and civil law - György Kiss (2005): Labor Law, Osiris, Budapest. 15. • “György Kiss wrote in 2005: "In the more than two-century history of modern labor law, it has evolved from a simple lease to a right to individual and collective labor relations. In the process, labor law has gradually separated from classical private law, without, however, completely banishing its principles and values.” - György Kiss (2017): Dilemmas of the regulation of labor law, Special Issue of the Miskolc Legal Review, 12 (2) 271. • In 2017, he puts it this way: " It is now recognized in Hungarian labor law is part of private law." - László Kelemen (1941): The obligation based on the contract. Action University Szegediensis. Section luridico-Politica Curant S. Ereky et E. Polner, A. M. Kir. Association of Friends of Franz Joseph University. 17-18. • "The development of public law, which has been mentioned so much today, is not the increasing space of the community idea, the prominence of the public interest, but the fact that the individual self-government is shrinking more and more and. e.g. in labor law."
