Initiating legal proceedings or organising one's defence involves calling on the services of a lawyer, an investment in time, confidence and, of course, money. The question of the cost of this intervention is central. Another, just as essential, follows: in the event of success, how much of these costs...Civil proceedings: who brings the facts, who tells the law? Roles shared between you and the judge
When you embark on a civil lawsuit, two essential elements come into play: the facts (what actually happened, the concrete events that gave rise to the dispute) and the law (all the legal rules that apply to the situation). The question then arises: who is responsible for...How to read a judgement A practical guide to deciphering a court ruling
Receiving a court judgement is an important step, often a source of questions and even anxiety. This official document, written in sometimes complex legal language, seals the outcome of a dispute or validates a situation. But how do you make sense of it? What do the different parts of the document mean? How to read and understand...The legal expert in your case: understanding his costs and how they are covered

The process that leads to a civil judgment is not arbitrary...Exequatur: how can a foreign judgment be enforced in France?
You have obtained a favourable court decision abroad, for example ordering a debtor to pay you a sum of money. If this person lives or owns property in France, you might think that all you have to do to obtain satisfaction is present the foreign judgment. Unfortunately, however...What do costs really cover? Deciphering article 695 of the Code of Civil Procedure
The conclusion of a lawsuit raises an essential question for the client and his counsel: who pays the legal costs? Article 696 of the Code of Civil Procedure lays down a general principle: unless the court decides otherwise, the losing party is ordered to pay the costs. However, there is often confusion...The main principles of civil litigation: who does what between the parties and the judge?
The course of a civil trial can often seem like a complex mechanism, with its rules, deadlines and players with well-defined roles. But for anyone unfamiliar with the legal world, understanding who is in control at each stage is essential. A procedure that is badly started or badly...What is a civil judgment and how do we understand it?
Have you just received an official document from a court, entitled "judgment"?
