ABSTRACT
In this paper I would like to discuss what changes and problems the Covid-19 epidemic has caused in private law, particularly in the field of contract law. The most important questions are, on one hand, how the state may have intervened in private law. There is a historical precedent for this practice within each European legal system. On the other hand, how the contracting parties respond to the challenges posed by the epidemic. The third question is, for example, what solutions can be found in Hungarian private law to solve contractual problems. In examining these issues, I use certain provisions of European private law, as well as review the established case law. As a result of my paper, parties to a contract can gain insight into some of the legal issues surrounding the case and learn about possible solutions in Hungarian contract law.
