However, in 1933, Poland adopted the Mandatory Law of the Republic of Poland, which further regulated the loan relations for the incorporation of the lands of Eastern Galicia and Western Volhynia into the USSR. Characterizing the provisions of civil law in force in the period from 1939 to 1945 in Transcarpathia, which were part of the Kingdom of Hungary, it should be noted the following. Since, historically, the General Civil Code of Austria (1811) did not apply in Hungary, with the restoration of Hungarian state independence in 1918, the basis of its civil law was case law and customary law, supplemented by some written laws. Attempts to codify civil law in the interwar period were unsuccessful, as the draft of the Central Committee of the Kingdom of Hungary (1928) did not enter into force. However, in the absence of direct systematic legislative regulation of civil law relations in judicial practice, the provisions of the Draft Central Committee were used to regulate loan relations in the lands of Transcarpathia, which were part of the Kingdom of Hungary until 1945. The author also argues that in the territory of Northern Bukovina in the period from 1918 to 1940, loan relations were regulated by the Central Committee of the Kingdom of Romania (1864).
