First edition.

"The Code of Civil Procedure, decreed on 12 April 1806 and promulgated on 24 April 1806, is the first code of civil procedure in French law. It is a collection of various procedural laws enacted during the Revolution, the Directory, the Consulate and the beginning of the Empire, as well as a revival of certain provisions of the Ancien Droit. This code of civil procedure comprises 1,042 articles and is applicable from 1 January 1807" (see Wikipedia).

The Code de procédure civile is a complement to the Code civil. It is the result of a project directed by Eustache-Nicolas Pigeau (1750-1818), jurisconsult and professor of procedure at the École de Droit de Paris since 1805.
