As Hungarian law used to prohibit any deviation from the former Companies Act,
similar material provisions going beyond the Companies Act used to be included
in another contract i.e. a syndicate agreement before the new Civil Code entered into force. This is not necessarily the case any longer, provided that the
Joint Venture partners are willing to accept that their agreement is made publicly
available by the company registry. In return, the contracting parties are afforded
a higher degree of legal certainty, as their agreement is no longer confined to a

According to the new Civil Code, Joint Venture partners are allowed to determine the
rights and obligations of the JV partners, the requirements concerning voting in the
shareholders meeting, sales scenarios etc. However, it is important to note that a JV
partner, in tight situations, will gladly invoke any of the three above-mentioned limitations to invalidate the entire contract, primarily with a view to strengthening its bargaining position. It is advisable to have all agreements thoroughly reviewed for overall legal
compliance and to specifically and jointly reaffirm the legal suitability of the agreed provisions.
Leaving an existing Joint Venture Agreement unaltered under the scope of the new Civil
Code would be most ill-advised. The partners need to avoid certain most unpleasant surprises lurking among the provisions of the new Civil Code for example voluntary liquidation ordered unilaterally by the JV partner. In this context, the Joint Venture partners are
