Abstract

While the impact of EU law on national civil procedure is strongly visible in cross-border proceedings, it has potentially a much stronger effect in internal proceedings. Yet its visibility in regard of a domestic context is until today limited, both in practice and in research. This contribution attempts to shed light on the impact of EU law on internal national civil procedure by providing for a number of brief case studies on Belgian civil procedure. The relevance of EU law for the national debate will be considered, as well as its impact on the regulation of civil procedure. Subsequently, the case studies will be used to provide for a number of general considerations regarding the impact of EU law on national civil procedure. These considerations transcend the Belgian legal order and have as their aim to foster the debate on the future of civil procedure in an EU law context.
