Abstract

This chapter compares the relationship between the Belgian judiciary and the occupier during the two world wars. It analyses the behaviour of the judiciary during these times of crisis that undermine the balance between the powers and the independence of the judiciary. Based on Belgian and German sources, it examines the various occupier’s interferences in the course of justice.
