Abstract
The civil justice systems of Denmark, Norway and Sweden Sweden have much in common even though they, unlike other important areas of law, have not been subject to a formal Nordic legislative cooperation. This paper explores recent reforms of civil justice in Denmark, Norway and Sweden from a comparative perspective. The purpose is to identify and compare the general purposes and fundamental values, as well as some important general principles behind these Nordic civil justice systems, and to discuss to what extent they reflect a common Nordic approach to civil justice. The analyses show that these civil justice systems today generally aim to fulfill the same purposes and are essentially based on the same fundamental values and general principles and that these purposes, values and principles largely reflect a common Nordic approach to civil justice.
