Court dismisses civil claim for damages against state for alleged administrative negligence in social benefits case.

The Kúria dismissed the plaintiff's civil lawsuit seeking damages against the state for alleged negligence in granting social benefits. The plaintiff argued that the administrative authority failed to process their application timely, causing financial loss, while the state contended the delay was due to systemic workload and not intentional misconduct. The court ruled that the plaintiff failed to prove a direct causal link between the administrative delay and the specific damages claimed, as the law does not automatically impose liability for all processing delays without fault.
