Procédure civile

The textbook "Procédure civile" by Fabienne Hohl provides a comprehensive introduction to the theory of civil procedures. Originally written for students at the University of Fribourg, the work has been significantly expanded since its first edition in 2001 and adapted to the changes in Swiss civil procedure law that came into effect on January 1, 2011. The first volume focuses on fundamental aspects of civil procedure, including civil jurisdiction, various types of procedures, and the essential principles of the civil procedure code. Key topics such as the parties in the proceedings, the presentation of evidence, and decision-making are addressed. The book links substantive legal foundations with the corresponding procedural rules, making it a valuable resource for students and practitioners in the field of civil law.
