    The Significance of the Hungarian Commercial Code of 1875 in the Legal System of the Interwar Czechoslovak Republic
    (Károli Gáspár Református Egyetem Állam- és Jogtudományi Kar, 2026) Pandy Dávid; UPJŠ Košice
    This article explores the legal status of the Hungarian Commercial Code (Statutory Article XXXVII of 1875) within the legal order of interwar Czechoslovakia. Following the reception of law and the emergence of legal dualism, this body of commercial legislation remained in force in Slovakia and Subcarpathian Ruthenia. Despite legislative efforts, interwar Czechoslovakia did not achieve a comprehensive unification of commercial law through the adoption of a single unified commercial code. On the basis of the foregoing, the article focuses on the commercial-law measures enacted during the interwar period and their analysis. The study is based primarily on an examination of original legal sources and parliamentary records relating to the adoption of the relevant legislation, complemented by both interwar and contemporary scholarly literature. The findings suggest that the interwar commercial legislation – often amending provisions of the Hungarian Commercial Code – served not only a unifying purpose, but also a subordinating one, intended to sever the commercial and legalties of Slovak commercial actors with post-war Hungary.
