The challenges, difficulties and achievements of the Codification Commission of the Republic of Poland (1919–1939) in the field of succession law

The objective of this article is twofold: first, to examine the challenges and difficulties encountered by the Codification Commission of the Republic of Poland during its work on succession law; and, second, to present the Commission’s accomplishments in this domain. The article offers a comprehensive analysis of the principal assumptions advanced by individual rapporteurs on succession law, taking into account their proposed amendments. This approach enables a concise identification of the areas in which the Commission’s work was undertaken, as well as those whose outcomes proved particularly significant from the perspective of post-war codification efforts.
