Abstract

In the introduction of the book ´European Traditions in Civil Procedure´Professor C.H Van Rhee makes an historical analysis of the European civil procedure developments in countries like France, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, The Netherlands and England from the XIX Century onward. He specially emphasizes thre ecrucial moments, the introduction of the French 1806 Code of Civil Procedure in 1807, the 1895 Austrian Zivil prozessordnung in 1898 and the 1998 English Civil Procedure Rules in 1999, which changed the perspective on the subject in a decisive manner. This ishow this book rises as a contribution to the studies for an eventual harmonization of civil procedure in Europe, and also as material that helps to understand civil procedure as a system in constant evolution and the way these models have influenced each other across the centuries.

Keywords:

Civil Procedural Law, History of Procedure, European Civil Procedure, Modern Civil Procedure, Case management, Social Function of Civil Litigation, Active Judge, English Civil Procedure
