Summary/Abstract: In 1398 (?) Emperor Manuel II Palaiologos by his juridical decree restored the court of the καθολικοι κριται των Ρωμαιων which had been founded by Andronikos III Palaiologos in 1329, but after the scandal of 1337 functioned only at long intervals, and created the special institution of defensores, judical executors, unknown in Byzantium before him. Thus Manuel II Palaiologos made a juridical reform which was a third one in the Palaiologan time.
