Nicolae Balint: Aspecte referitoare la activitatea unor instanţe judecătoreşti mureşene, în primii ani după Marea Unire de la 1918
Marisia XXX-XXXI Aspecte referitoare la activitatea unor instante judecatore§ti mure§ene, Tn primii ani dupä Marea Unire de la 1918 Nicolae BÁLINT Aspects regarding the activity of several courts from Mures county, in the first years after the Great Union in 1918 Abnstract The end of the First World War marked the end of three great empires, as well as the beginning of an era of significant political, economica land cultural-scientific changes, including for Romania. The Peace Conference in Paris (1919 - 1920) did not equitably solve the issues generated by the war, created frustrations among small states, but it also created complexes for the defeated countries. One of the prolems dealt with there was the issue of minorities. The Great Powers imposed juridical rules which had superconstitutional status, which the signatory states were obliged to regulate by their own laws, which was obviously a serious breaking of national sovereignty. As far as implementing the Romanian legislation in Transylvania is concerned, as one can see from the documents of the instances in Tg. Mures, this was a gradual process linked to certain particularities, so that, for a rather long time, certain laws of the Hungarian state were kept in office, but they were first translated into Romanian, revised, completed and some articles were annulled. We are talking, for example, about Law XX1/1886 regarding muncipalities, Law XXI1/1886 regarding the administration of communes, Law XX/1901 regarding the simplifying of administrative procedure, the laws referring to usage ( utility) and interest, as well as Law XXV/1883, Law VIII/1887, Law XXXI1868, Law XXXV/1895 and Law XXXVI/1895. Consequently, one can say that the inter-war Romanian state, as regards the implementation of its own legislation, handled it tactfully, taking into account the necessities of the moment, as well as the need to elaborate long-term long-lasting well-fundamented law, which would correspond to the interests of the Romanian State, and to the best interests of its citizens of other ethnicities. I.Consideratii generale Sfär§itul Primului Räzboi Mondial a marcat §i sfar§itul a trei mari imperii, dar ín acela§i timp Tnceputul unei epoci de mari prefaced politice, economice §i cultu ral-§tiintifice. Conferinta de Pace de la Paris (1919-1920), n-a rezolvat ínsa in mod echitabil problemele determinate de räzboi, a creat frusträri pentru statele mici, dar a creat §i complexe pentru statele invinse, complexe care peste putin timp aveau sä alimenteze §i sä insufleteascä mi§cäri extremiste, revizioniste1 §i revan§arde.
