Abstract

In this chapter, the developmental trajectory of civil law codification in Poland is traced in parallel with the major events of Polish history. It reveals that codification work began in earnest during the so-called Second Republic, being subject to numerous international influences, in different parts of Poland, which affected it in various degrees. The traditionally dualist system of Polish civil and commercial law is also analysed in light of its effects on codification. Finally, the codification work during the communist dictatorship, and its later modification, is examined, and a question is posed as to whether a new codification would be preferable and appropriate.
