The Fundamental Law of Hungary entered into force on 1 January 2012, introducing several new constitutional rights, one of it is the right to fair administrative procedure. This paper aims to present a comprehensive analysis of that new constitutional right. The first part of the study is devoted to explain the legal background and the constitutional tradition behind the right to fair procedure (by authorities). We should note that Constitutional Court’s decisions had already specifically affected legal regulations of a procedural nature before the declaration of the fundamental right to fair procedure. These decisions – examined in the paper – have been pivotal for Hungary’s legal system and procedural law. Secondly, the current practice of the realization of the right to fair administrative procedure is presented. Through the Constitutional Court’s practice, we also describe the partial rights/authorizations of this fundamental right. Finally, the right to legal remedy and to fair judicial procedure are analysed in detail.
