PART 9. ENFORCING THE CLAIM FOR DAMAGES
Section 48 The following forms/templates must be used for the purpose of enforcing claims for
damages:
Annex 4: The student’s notification of a hearing in a tort case
Annex 5: Decision on the claim for damages
Section 49 The decision issued on the basis of the minutes of the tort procedure contains the
name and personal data of the person causing the damage, the description of the damaged, lost
or destroyed asset, the amount of damages payable, the manner of providing compensation and
the deadline for providing compensation (Annex 5).
The person responsible for the damage may be allowed to pay in instalments if this is reasonable
due to their financial situation. A copy of the decision on the damages must be sent to the
Financial Director. The minutes must be signed by the chair of the tort committee and the keeper
of the minutes.
Section 50 If the deadline for the payment of the compensation expires and no payment is made,
the person responsible for the damage must be sued in court and the documents of the case must
be sent to the Legal Department for this purpose.
Section 51 The statute of limitations is three years. If the damage has been caused by a crime,
the statute of limitations is five years, unless the statute of limitations of the particular crime is
longer. In the latter case, the statute of limitations for the damage claim will expire when the
statute of limitations for the criminal case expires.
Section 52
(1) The Civil Code will apply to all financial liability-related issues not regulated above.
(2) A judicial review of the final tort decisions may be sought in court.
Attention to Students of Foreign Language Programs at Semmelweis
University
In recent years, Semmelweis University has built a valuable student community by maintaining
high academic standards and placing much emphasis on the ethical integrity of our education. The
overwhelming majority of our students appreciate our efforts. Unfortunately, a small minority does
not want to accept our ethical guidelines, and tries to take undue advantage at exams by using
unacceptable techniques.
We therefore do implement the following sanctions:
Against students who are found at exams possessing forbidden items, including electrical devices,
such as mobile phones, ipods, etc. a disciplinary action will be initiated that can end with
immediate discharge with disgrace from Semmelweis University. By implementing this rule, we
wish to preserve the academic and material value of the Semmelweis Diploma.
