Summary/Abstract: The legislative unification has been a complex process, with many steps covering the whole inter-war period; it has consolidated the national unity, by continuing the political and state unity completed on December 1st, 1918. The extension of the legislation of the “Old Kingdom” on to the adjoining territories has been the dominating method used, being finalized in 1928 for Bessarabia, 1938 for Bukovina, and ultimately in 1943 for Transylvania. At the same time, the process of elaborating of new codes has started, under the leadership of the Legislative Council, having been adopted and entering into force the Criminal and Criminal Proceedings codes (January 1st, 1937), and the entering into force of the private codes (Civil, Civil Proceedings, Commercial), adopted in 1938-1939, has been postponed sine die.
