Lietuvos statutas kairiakrantėje Ukrainoje

Abstract

The article discusses the norms of the imperial code of laws originating from the Lithuanian Statute. Initially they were entered into 53 articles of the code, later the number fell to 39. In their majority they dealt with family and inheritance law, also, the law of property and obligation. Upon the inclusion into the Russian imperial code of the surviving legal norms of the Tchernigov and Poltava guberniyas, they lost their local specifics in the primary sense of the word and were considered as exceptions from the general imperial rules. The norms of the Lithuanian Statute survived in the code of Russian laws until 1917.
