• Title:
  Jurisdiction of the Consistory in the light of matrimonial law of 1836
• Creator:
  Fastyn, Arkadiusz
• Description:
  The paper discusses jurisdiction of the Consistory in matrimonial matters in the central part of Poland between 1919-1939, where, pursuant to the matrimonial law of 1836, jurisdiction in matters such as separation, divorce and nullification of marriage was vested in certain church courts. Decisions issued by those churches were recognised as binding and effective decisions in civil law as well. The main considerations focus of the scope of civil jurisdiction of church courts, and, in particular, their jurisdiction as demarcated by the law. Under that law, matrimonial matters were submitted to a church court that was relevant for the religious faith of the spouses in question. Where spouses were of two different denominations, proper jurisdiction for them was determined by the interdenominational matrimonial law of 1836. However, adjudications of church courts other than RC church court were not always accepted by the dominant RC church. This led to frequent disputes regarding their recognition by civil courts. The key subject of the research is the denominational aspect of the jurisdiction of a church court. The paper also includes different interpretations of the  interdenominational provisions formulated by leading theoreticians of the interwar period. As can be seen, the differences of their opinions as well as incoherent jurisdiction of the Supreme Court created many doubts with regards to the enforcement of a decision in a matrimonial matter issued by a church court with improper jurisdiction. And so, in its decision of 8 November 1926 the Supreme Court adjudicated that a state court was empowered to investigate the jurisdiction of a church court which has issued a decision in a matrimonial matter. At the same time, however, it took a stance that the provisions of the state interdenominational law should be  absolutely binding. And yet, in some other cases it tended to marginalise the state law and allowed to base civil jurisdiction of a RC court entirely on canon law. These examples illustrate a tendency of the Supreme Court to favour broad construction of the principle laid down in Article 114 of the Constitution that the Roman Catholic Church in Poland should be governed by its own laws.;
  L'article concerne le problème de la juridiction ecclésiastique au sujet du mariage dans la Pologne centrale dans la période du 1918 au 1939. Dans ce territoire, on appliqua la loi de mariage de 1836, qui confia aux tribunaux ecclésiastiques de certaines confessions religieuses la juridiction dans les cas de la nullité du mariage, du divorce et de la séparation. La particularité de cette juridiction fut liée au caractère du tribunal ecclésiastique qui était l'organe de l'association religieuse. Selon le droit d'Etat, les jugements de ce tribunal prenaient leurs effets également en droit civil. La question importante porte sur l'étendue de la juridiction civile du tribunal ecclésiastique. En particulier, il s'agissait du problème de ses limites déterminées par la lois de l'État. En principe, outre le sujet de l'affaire, la juridiction du tribunal ecclésiastique fut déterminée par la confession des conjoints. Dans le cas des conjonts apartenants aux diverses confesssions, la juridiction fut définie par les prescriptions „interconfessionelles" de la loi de 1836. L'interprétation de celles-ci faisait l'objet de nombreuses controversions. A cause portantes sur la question de la reconnaissance des effets civiles des jugements ecclésiastiques. Dans l'article on a élaboré l'aspect confessionel de la juridiction du tribunal ecclésiastique. On présenta les interprétations des prescriptions „intraconfessionelles" proposées par les théoriciens réputés de l'époque d'avant la guerre. On réfléchissait aussi sur les arrêts de la Cour Suprême concernants le mariage réglé par la loi de 1836.
