Summary/Abstract: This study provides an analysis of the judgment of the European Court of Human Rights against Hungary, in which it was found that the right to private life had been violated because of publishing of personal data of defaulting taxpayers on the website of the tax administration. The author reports on the review carried out by the European judges, who confirm, on the one hand, the existence of a national margin of appreciation, but on the other hand, carry out a questionable review of the quality of the parliamentary examination of the law providing for the measure in question in order to conclude that there has been a violation of Article 8.
