Appeal Court Kassel

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Appellationsgericht Kassel or Appellationsgericht Cassel was a court of appeal in the Prussian province of Hessen-Nassau with its seat in Kassel .

history

After the annexation of Kurhessen by Prussia in 1866, the court structure was incorporated into the Prussian one. There was now no more space for the Kassel Higher Appeal Court . The Higher Appeal Court of Berlin was formed in 1867 for the new Prussian provinces of Schleswig-Holstein , Hanover , Hesse-Nassau and the Duchy of Lauenburg and also for the Principality of Waldeck and Pyrmont . In 1874 this court was combined with the Prussian Higher Tribunal .

In Kassel, a court of second instance has now been created with the Kassel Court of Appeal. Spatially, it was responsible for the administrative district of Kassel , which essentially comprised the areas of the former Kurhessen. The former Hessian justice offices and six newly created district courts, renamed local courts, served as the first instance :

The court had a president, a vice-president and 14 councilors. It consisted of two senates: a civil and a criminal senate. Five members were required to pass a resolution.

After the Reich Justice Laws came into force, the law of March 4, 1878, repealed the Court of Appeal and created the Kassel Higher Regional Court in its place .
