Abstract

In Hungary, on 15 January 2025, after a long period of preparation, training, development, and organisation, the electronic land administration system — E-ING — was launched. The transition from former paper-based procedures to digital administration must be aligned with other administrative registers, but above all it must serve its original purpose: to guarantee the public authenticity of the land register. It must also take into account that the end users are clients — ultimately private individuals — who need to adapt to the changes. In Hungary, the administration of real estate is an important national economic matter, but due to historical traditions it is also of great importance to private individuals; therefore, the development must be both well thought-out and easily comprehensible. E-ING is founded on the accuracy of its data. Incorrect or incomplete data will hinder the operation of the system. Ensuring data accuracy requires the participation of the individuals concerned, in cooperation with the authorities, but this cooperation must also take place at a societal level. All of these form part of the interactions necessarily generated by technological development. It is the law that must provide guidance in ensuring data accuracy; however, the law itself is not yet prepared for every case and cannot always provide assistance. It has not been able to establish general rules — neither procedural nor substantive ones. Through three legal cases, this article illustrates the role that the law assumes in performing this task.

CERTAIN INTERACTIONS OF THE NEW LAND ADMINISTRATION SYSTEM (E-ING) IN HUNGARY

Abstract

In Hungary, on 15 January 2025, after a long period of preparation, training, development, and organisation, the electronic land administration system — E-ING — was launched. The transition from former paper-based procedures to digital administration must be aligned with other administrative registers, but above all it must serve its original purpose: to guarantee the public authenticity of the land register. It must also take into account that the end users are clients — ultimately private individuals — who need to adapt to the changes. In Hungary, the administration of real estate is an important national economic matter, but due to historical traditions it is also of great importance to private individuals; therefore, the development must be both well thought-out and easily comprehensible. E-ING is founded on the accuracy of its data. Incorrect or incomplete data will hinder the operation of the system. Ensuring data accuracy requires the participation of the individuals concerned, in cooperation with the authorities, but this cooperation must also take place at a societal level. All of these form part of the interactions necessarily generated by technological development. It is the law that must provide guidance in ensuring data accuracy; however, the law itself is not yet prepared for every case and cannot always provide assistance. It has not been able to establish general rules — neither procedural nor substantive ones. Through three legal cases, this article illustrates the role that the law assumes in performing this task.
