The reviewed book by Dr. Jozef Koredczuk entitled The inheritance of real estate in light of the caselaw of the Lviv Appellate Circuit courts in the Second Polish Republic is a monograph. It is a pioneer elaboration in the history of Polish law. The theme of the book focuses on cases regulated primarily by the Austrian Civil Code (ABGB) of 1811. This Code was binding in the Polish territory of the so-called Galicia (today, the Malopolska region) for almost 135 years, from 1812 until the end of 1946. The author narrows his research down to the jurisdiction of the Lvi’v appellate courts between 1918 and 1939. The author does not go directly to court records, but to previously published judicial decisions and their justifications. The researcher’s subject of interest is the inheritance of real estate, and thus leaving inheritance of chattels and rights behind.
