Abstract The ELI/Unidroit Model Eropean Rules of Civil Procedure as adopted by both organizations in 2020 are a first attempt to develop a rather complete set of rules that could be a framework of reference for European legislators, policymakers and courts. Five years after their publication this article tries to take stock of their beginning dissemination and influence on the future development of civil procedure. This provisional bylance puts special emphasis on important topics of modern procedural practice, main issues between the drafters and the acceptancce of the solution proposed.
