In 2020, the rate of change of pending cases, or clearance rate, in French civil courts was higher than the European median for the supreme court and the second instance, but lower for the first instance. For example, the clearance rate in civil courts of second instance was 105.3 percent in France, compared to the European median of 104.2 percent.
In addition, a clearance rate above 100 percent means that the court is able to resolve more cases than it has been seized with, and thus that the backlog of cases is decreasing. The backlog of cases was therefore greatest in first instance civil courts in 2020, both in France and in Europe.
