Die Rolle des Pflichtverteidigers im Kirchenrecht und im ungarischen Privatrecht

Abstract

The defender of the bond is one of the most important officials at the ecclesiastical courts. In this paper I examine the changes of this office both in canonical legislation and in jurisdictional practise (and in Hungarian private law). I present the practise of the holy see of Veszprém and Székesfehérvár in matrimonial cases in the 19^th and 20^th century.
