1. The decision of the Hungarian Supreme Court (Kúria) published as BH2016.14. – in which I acted as legal counsel for the claimant – clearly established that the system usage charge constitutes an essential element of the contract, and that claims arising therefrom are subject to a special one-year limitation period. This judicial interpretation is of decisive importance for both residential and business consumers.
2. Numerous successful court cases against distribution system operators in matters relating to system usage charges.
3. Out-of-court settlements concluded with licensed energy traders, aimed at protecting the financial and energy law interests of clients.
4. Representation of residential consumers before the Hungarian Energy and Public Utility Regulatory Authority (MEKH) and consumer protection authorities.
5. dm Kft. – Renewable Energy and Off-site PPA
   dm Kft. decided to implement a large-scale off-site Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) project. An off-site PPA is a long-term contractual structure that enables a company to purchase electricity directly from renewable sources – typically domestic solar power generation capacity – based on a direct contractual arrangement. This structure simultaneously supports cost predictability and the achievement of sustainability objectives.
   I accompanied this undertaking from a legal perspective throughout the entire process. My responsibilities included the review and amendment of contractual drafts, the identification of legal risks inherent in the structure, and the support of negotiations. During the cooperation, my counterparts on behalf of dm were the operations manager and the operations team leader, with whom we maintained a smooth and professionally stimulating working relationship.
6. I regularly publish my professional opinions, in particular on my LinkedIn platform.

Summary

The objective of the advisory work is, in all cases, to ensure that energy users – whether residential or corporate – identify their legal and financial risks at an early stage, and are able to make well-founded decisions prior to entering into contracts, enforcing civil law claims, undertaking investments, or initiating claims.
