Abstract

The new Criminal Code (hereinafter CC) came into force in Hungary on the 1st of
July in 2013. In my study I attempt to present a selection of the significant innovations which
the legislator of the new Criminal Code kept in mind during codification.
Among them, I would like to introduce the changes to the general part of the CC, not
including changes to the penalty system.
I focused especially on the questions of the age of punishability, legal defense, and the
term of limitation of the crimes.
