The relationship between the registration of press products and legal personality in litigation

Summary/Abstract: Although the legal institution of press corrections has been around for many decades, law enforcement is constantly faced with situations for which there is no clear answer in expressis verbis legal provisions. The most striking cases are those where the party whose rights have been infringed may be prevented from enforcing its claims due to improper procedure or objective circumstances. Some of these can be traced back to the registration of press products. In the case of printed and online press products, practical problems may arise from the incorrect addressing of requests for corrections, or from the fact that a Hungarian-language press product does not have a domestic editorial office, or its publisher is a domestic representative body or organisational unit where editorial activities are carried out. It is questionable whether the editorial office of a press product with special legal capacity in litigation can itself enforce a claim for legal costs in the event of a successful lawsuit for correction, or whether only the publisher or content provider is entitled to do so. This article reviews the incomplete answers provided by court practice and legislative proposals to the questions raised.
