Napoléon - Code de procédure civile - 1806

Rare original edition of this legislative collection developed within the framework of the Napoleonic codification. It represents the first major systematization of civil procedure rules in France, complementing the 1804 Civil Code by organizing the practical modalities of justice.

He organizes in detail the conduct of civil trials before courts, setting the rules of jurisdiction, jurisdiction, deadlines, forms of acts, publicity, and appeals, while seeking to limit abuses and accelerate justice.

Inspired by the Napoleonic spirit of centralization and clarity, it imposes a hierarchical structure of courts, strictly regulates the roles of judges, lawyers, and clerks, and codifies the stages of the proceedings from summons to the enforcement of judgments.

This text, which remained in effect until its reform in the 20th century, illustrates Napoleon's desire to give France a coherent procedural corpus, ensuring the authority of the State and the predictability of disputes.
