Summary/Abstract: The text presents and analyzes the legal documents relating to the agricultural cases. There are several documents that refer to the organization and operation of agricultural cases. These are: The statute of agricultural cases from 1878, The rules of agricultural cases from 1889 and a legal document of uppermost importance – The Law on Agricultural crates from 1894, and its amendment from 1897. The Statute of agricultural cases was released on July 27, 1878. It consists of 53 articles. The Statute of agricultural cases is the first legal document related to the organization, operation and management of the cases after the Liberation. The second legal document is The rules of agricultural cases. It was released on February 25, 1889. It consists of 59 articles. After the adoption of this document the scope of the activities of the agricultural cases expands significantly. They start to accept deposits and to lend money not only to farmers, but also to people from different social groups. Several attempts to adopt different laws are made between 1878 and 1894 but they all prove fruitless. The Law of agricultural cases from 1984 is developed by the Minister of Finance I. Geshov. It consists of 34 articles, which affect key points of the organization of the cases. In order to overcome the existing problems of agricultural cases in 1897 the Parliament votes and adopts a new law of the cases. This law improves the structure, the whole organization and the management of the agricultural cases. As a result of the adoption of the law from 1894 and its amendment of 1897 the agricultural cases become more organized and start to look like a modern credit organization.
