The Supreme Court of Hungary (Kúria) has ruled that the grounds for interrupting the period of limitation cannot be expanded by contract.

The case centered on whether a claim of limitation could be validly raised in a lawsuit that had originated from a payment order procedure — when the parties had previously agreed otherwise in their contract.
