The purpose of the study is to analyze the civil procedure legal framework which the «shlikhters» (judges in civil cases) relied on in their own work. The research methodology is based on the principles of consistency, historicism and scientism, as well as general scientific research methods. The scientific novelty lies in the fact that such a detailed analysis of the regulatory framework will be done for the first time. Conclusions. Before the advent of the Civil Procedure Code, there were scattered normative acts used by the judges in their own activities. A similar situation was on the territory, which was occupied by the Third Reich of Ukraine. The documents were scattered, issued with a large period of time and by different officials. For a certain systematization and simplification of their use, the incorporated collections of normative legal acts were issued. We propose to consider one of them: the official collection of legal acts of the General District «Kyiv» – «Amtsblatt des Generalkommissars Kiev». This journal is an incorporation of four by-laws: the Decree of the General Kommissar of Kyiv General district «On jurisdiction and judicial proceedings in civil cases of the local population», the Extract from the Decision «On the introduction and development of German judicial proceedings in the occupied Eastern regions», the Announcement of the German court in Kyiv and the Decision of the Reich Kommissar of Ukraine «On provisional rules on marriage and divorce». But we will focus only on the first three, which make it possible to analyze the legal regulation of civil proceedings on the occupied territories of Ukraine. The publications on the activities of the «shlikhter» courts by A. Honcharenko, N. Kolisnyk, M. Kunytskyi, Yu. Levchenko, T. Martynenko, V. Shaikan and the author of this article are well-known in the historiography. But all of them considered the legal framework through the prism of the courts activity very marginally, which was the subject of these scientists’ research publications. The territorial boundaries under the scope of the Journal were limited by Kyiv General District. But in fact the activities of judicial institutions in all districts of Reichskommissariat of Ukraine were similar. Besides all regulations presented in this Code are Extracts from Decisions or Full Acts, which expanded on all «occupied East territories». The only exception was «the Announcement of the German Court in Kyiv» in which the address of court and the schedule of work specific only for Kyiv are registered, the following contents of this announcement is based on the Decision of the Reichskommissar of Ukraine «On Jurisdiction of Civil Cases».References
