decided to join the magistrature, he was appointed subordinate legal official at the
Bielovar Court on October 31st, 1900. On November 30th, 1900, he was appointed
auditeur after passing the magistrate’s examination; he was appointed, on February 5th,
1902, second-class assessor at the Bielovar District Court, and on September 5th, 1907,
first-class assessor at the same Court. He was also first-class assessor at the District
Courts of Stara Pazova, Shid and Koprivnica; he was subsequently transferred, on
February 16th, 1911, to the Zagreb Court, and attached to the secretariat of the
Court of the Septemvirs at Zagreb. On August 1st, 1911, he was appointed Secretary
to the Court of the Septemvirs, and on April 29th, 1918, he was made Secretary to
the President of that Court. By Royal Order of January 20th, 1920, he was appointed

on the regular public staff of the School of Commerce and Exchange at Zagreb. By

the Septemvirs at Zagreb (judge of the Court of Cassation), and by Royal Order of
March 19th, 1927, President of the Court of the Septemvirs, a position which he
still occupies.
From the inception of his judicial career, Dr. Tchimitch displayed exceptional ability,
sound theoretical knowledge and skill in its practical application. It was for this reason
that he was attached to the Secretariat of the Court of the Septemvirs, where he did highly
valuable work. He has published the “ Decisions of the Court of the Septemvirs at
Zagreb ”, in two volumes, a commentary on the provisions governing the moratorium,
a digest of the law of exchange, treaties on the law of cheques in the Kingdom
of Yugoslavia, on the law of bills of exchange in that country, and on the law of equality
of rights among creditors, and a digest of private law; he has also published, with
comments, the recent law on bills of exchange and cheques.
