Summary/Abstract: The last one and a half decade has been a busy time in the development of civil procedural regimes across Europe. In the following study I attempt to analyse recent procedural reform in three European jurisdictions: Switzerland – an example of Germanic civil procedure, Italy – a Southern European procedural system, and Romania – an eclectic system, in order to discern the common trends now effecting the system of appeals. I identify as such common trends for example the simplifi cation of appeals procedures, the creation of specialized, limited and simplifi ed appeals for low value or low complexity cases and enhanced judicial powers in disposing of appeals which are considered manifestly unfounded.
