1834 - 1834

The Commercial Court began its activity

After the approval of the Commercial Code, a new regulatory institution for commerce was created – the Commercial Court – whose activity began on 14^th January 1834.

With the creation of this Court, which essentially performed an arbitration function, the entire litigious jurisdiction that belonged to the Court of the Board of Commerce, which was responsible for the Insurance’s House of Lisbon, was revoked, the said Board being extinguished by License of 30^th June 1834, as it was considered incompatible with the governmental form established in the Constitutional Charter of 1826.
