  Aulic Council - LoveToKnow 1911   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)

The competition between the Aulic Council and the Imperial Chamber was finally regulated by the treaty of Westphalia, which laid it down that the court which first dealt with a case should alone have competence to pursue it.
