| Tartalmi kivonat: | In developed legal systems, it can be observed that the majority of private law claims arise either from contract or tort. There is, however, a group of claims that cannot be derived either from contract or tort, namely claims for unjust enrichment. The subject of my lecture will lead to this area of law. Unjust enrichment was already an already known concept in Roman law. In Rome, the so-called condictio applied to such claims. The different types of condictio, which first developed under Iustinian (condictio causa data causa non secuta, condictio ob turpem vel iniustam causam, condictio indebiti and condictio sine causa), can still be discovered in their essence in continental legal systems, where they form the core of enrichment claims. My aim is to examine to what extent the Roman legal influence can be detected behind the rules of certain European states on unjust enrichment and what differences and similarities can be found between the related rules of these countries. The research method to be used is the comparative legal method. I will first turn my attention to Roman law, briefly exploring the Roman legal solution to the question of unjust enrichment. I will then turn to the legislation in force in certain European countries (Germany, France, England), comparing the relevant provisions and rules while looking for similar or different legal solutions. As a result of the research, we will have a picture of to what extent, and in what respects, the European states regulate the question of unjust enrichment in a similar way; furthermore, to what extent can the Roman legal roots of the legal institution under examination be identified. |
