Summary/Abstract: The article describes the lawsuit of 1373–1383 between the monastery of St Matthias in Wrocław belonging to the Brethren (Knights) of the Cross with the Red Star and a Wrocław canon Werner von Czettritz over the right to use the Oława River. The suit was first filed before the court in Wrocław, and then, after an appeal, it was brought to the Roman Rota (1375–1383); it has left an outstanding set of written sources. The author discusses the documents related to the lawsuit, both those issued by the Rota (auditors’ documents), and those related to the enforcement proceedings, and he analyses the value of various types of documents from the historian’s perspective.
