Summary/Abstract: Multi-party litigation in Hungary is sporadic and typically sectoral regulation is applied, which means the regulation covers only specific areas of law. Moreover, it does not take the form of class actions or group litigation in the sense applied in the common law countries or in other European Union countries, but is merely an actio popularis. In the new Hungarian Code of Civil Procedure a more refined approach is needed in any case. A combination of the two models of the collective redress, the opt-in and opt-out systems should be combined. The article contains the details of this proposal.
