The origin of notary structures in Łódź

Summary/Abstract: Notary services in Poland had not originated until the days of the Duchy of Warsaw, where they were based on the regulations of the French notary act of 16th March 8003, entitled “Organisation of notary services”. The act remained in force in the Kingdom of Poland after the fall of the Duchy of Warsaw, although the system underwent certain changes. It was repealed only on the 1st (13th) July 1876, together with the Russian notary act of 14 April 1866 coming into force. The beginnings of notary services in Łódź date back to 1841. Until that time, the residents of Łódź had used legal assistance of notaries operating in the nearest city, that is Zgierz. Together with the development of industry and an increasing number of its population, Łódź required also the need to nominate an increasing number of representatives of this legal profession. In turn, Zgierz did not develop as dynamically as Łódź, for which reason the authorities of the Kingdom of Poland decided to move notaries from there to Łódź.
