Hungarian law is a civil law system whose modern legislative framework was first codified during the socialist period. Its current constitutional basis dates to 2011, replacing the constitution of 1949, and the National Assembly, successor to the historical Diet of Hungary, serves as the legislature. The judiciary includes a Supreme Court, a Constitutional Court and a Central District Court of Pest, and legislation takes the form of Acts, with codified statutes governing civil matters, criminal procedure, family law, environmental protection and other fields. The system as a whole reflects Hungary transition from socialist era codification to a modern civil law framework built on the 2011 constitution.
