A decree, edict, or formal order that is established or issued jointly by two or more authorities or governing bodies.
From 'co-' (together) plus 'decree' (a formal order). This legal term indicates that multiple ruling powers or authorities have jointly issued the same command or law.
Codecrees were historically important when kingdoms needed to show unified authority—if two nobles or districts jointly issued a codecree, it meant they were united on that law, which was a big political statement!
