The author investigates the initial value problem for the first order nonlinear differential equation. The existence of Carathéodory solutions is proved under conditions weaker than those due to \textit{C. Carathéodory} [``Vorlesungen über reelle Funktionen'', Leipzig (1927)], and the main difference is the assumption of nondecreasing of \(f(t, x)\) in \(x\) for almost all \(t\in [0, T]\) instead of traditional continuity in \(x\) for all \(t\in [0,T]\). The discussion of the hypotheses and comparison to known results are also given.
