Koncepcja tyranii w komentarzu Baldusa de Ubaldis do „lex Decernimus ut antiquatis”
The Concept of Tyranny in Baldus de Ubaldis's Commentary on the "lex Decernimus ut antiquatis"

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this study is to analyse the concept of tyranny as articulated in Baldus’s commentary on lex Decernimus. This constitution, issued by Emperor Zeno a few months after his return to the throne, following the removal of the usurper from power and the end of the tempus tyrannidis, gave rise to considerations about tyranny. The author seeks to answer the question of how the jurist understood just and unjust government, he considered it possible to legalise improperly seized power after a sufficiently long period of time what his views were on the validity of legal acts adopted during tyranny. The validity of 1) issued statutes, 2) court proceedings, issued judgments, 3) concluded contracts, drawn up wills and 4) conducted elections within the Church is examined.
