West Galician Code

The West Galician Code, also called the civil code of Western Galicia (German: Westgalizisches Gesetzbuch), was a civil code created in the eighteenth century, with Karl Anton Freiherr von Martini as its leading drafter. It was introduced in West Galicia, an administrative region of the Habsburg monarchy created after the Third Partition of Poland, before the Austrian civil code, the ABGB, was introduced. The code said little about solving feudal class problems, but it was based on ideals of freedom and equality before the law shaped by natural law.
