Napoléon - Code de procédure civile - 1810

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.

It sets the forms of cases, deadlines, procedural acts, jurisdiction competence, and remedies, with the aim of rationalizing and unifying a law that has so far been fragmented by customs and ordinances.

The work reflects the centralizing and normative spirit of the imperial regime, which aimed to give civil justice a clear, uniform, and effective foundation, suited to the needs of a modern state.

This Civil Procedure Code, which remained in force until its reform in the 20th century, embodies the Napoleonic desire to build a complete legal order, where procedure becomes the instrument of the regularity and legitimacy of judicial decisions.
