Switzerland has a civil law legal system, at the crossroads between Germanic and French legal traditions. The organization of the Swiss legal and judicial system reflects the political and federalist structure of Switzerland. Civil procedure is primarily regulated by the Swiss Code of Civil Procedure (SCCP), which entered into force on 1 January 2011. It provides a unified set of rules regulating civil procedure. The SCCP aimed to eliminate these obstacles by unifying the civil procedural laws. It largely draws on existing cantonal codes, particularly those of the Swiss-German cantons.
