Features: The French Civil Procedure Code is one of the five codes formulated under the leadership of Napoleon. Although it is not as well-known as the French Civil Code, it remains an influential classic in modern and contemporary procedural law worldwide. The basic model followed by the French New Civil Procedure Code remains the adversarial system, but it also incorporates tendencies of the inquisitorial system, which is a necessity of social development. The French New Civil Procedure Code explicitly states in its first volume, in the very first chapter, the "basic principles guiding the litigation" it adheres to, with particular emphasis on the provisions related to the adversarial system.
