Ogłoszenie akt w kanonicznym procesie małżeńskim

Abstract

The legislator in can. 1598 § 1 CIC said: ,,After the proofs have been collected, the judge by a decree must permit the parties and their advocates, under penalty of nullity, to inspect at the tribunal chancery the acts not yet known to them”. The author of this article analyses the institution of the acts publication. He shows the concept of publication in the Code of Canon Law of 1917 and the Code of 1983. It is important to identify the rights and responsibilities associated with the publication of the act. The judge must allow the parties to watch the files. Otherwise, we will have to deal with the penalty of nullity. The legislature guarantees the right to defense. Furthermore, it should be noted the new regulations contained in the Dignitas connubii.
