»Special Courts of the Polish Underground State« Having collapsed in September 1939, the Polish government reconvened in London, from where it continued legislative business. It organised the resistance in occupied Poland and supervised its jurisdiction. In accordance with distinct provisions in the Polish constitution, the Underground State became the only successor of pre-war Poland. Special Courts were the courts of the Polish Underground State. In an unprecedented approach this study examines the legal grounds for a Polish jurisdiction and their practical implementation under the dire circumstances of continued war and occupation.weiterlesen
