Abstract: The primary objective of this paper was to substantiate the issuance of the official Moravian provincial collection of laws (statute book) which was formed subsequent to 1848 from a mainly law history and comparative perspective, over the whole of its duration until 1948. The official Moravian collection of laws was an integral part of the law of the Austrian monarchy and the Czechoslovak state from 1850 until 1948, i.e. almost one whole century. Regulations were proclaimed in it which came into force and effect from its issuance. It was a part of Austrian, and subsequently Czechoslovak, law. It was based on the same constitutional, legal and official authority as other provincial collections of laws within the monarchy, and introduced the principle of formal publicity at the level of the Margraviate of Moravia subsequent to 1848. Finally, it is important to stress, from the perspective of the basic principle of an obligation to have knowledge of the legal system, that even today regulations enacted in this provincial collection of laws may be a part of current Czech Republic law. |
