The author attempts to describe the legal issues that the Cracow judges faced in applying the procedural provisions of French law. The Code civil and the French Code de procédure civile, in force in Cracow since 1810, were finally replaced by the abGb and the Austrian civil procedure in 1855. Although the new civil law codified in the Free City of Cracow failed, the source material remains subject to a detailed analysis. The paper presents the application of the procedural provisions of French law mainly through the prism of the opinion of the Faculty of Law of the Jagiellonian University about the violation of French procedural law by the courts, which was issued based on Article XV of the constitution of the Free City of Cracow from 1815.
