Abstract

The paper analyses three legal terms which regulate the determination of jurisdiction by a higher court in civil proceedings: necessary delegation of jurisdiction, purposeful delegation of jurisdiction and ordination of jurisdiction. An attempt is made to determine the meaning of these terms as well as their prerequisites and their legal effects. The paper also points to the potential functional interference between these concepts and thus suggests that there is a need to delimit the scope of their application. Special emphasis is also given to the influence of relatively new changes in the field of organisation and jurisdiction of courts upon the practical application of those concepts.
