TheSwissCivil Code (SR/RS 210,German:Schweizerisches Zivilgesetzbuch (ZGB);French:Code civil suisse (CC);Italian:Codice civile svizzero (CC);Romansh:Cudesch civil svizzer) is a portion of the second part (SR/RS 2) of theinternal Swiss law ("Private law - Administration of civil justice - Enforcement") that regulates thecodified law ruling inSwitzerland and relationship between individuals. It was first adopted in 1907 (effective since 1 January 1912).[1][2][3]

It was largely influenced by theGerman civil code, and partly influenced by theFrench civil code, but the majority ofcomparative law scholars (such as K. Zweigert andRodolfo Sacco) argue that the Swiss code derives from a distinct paradigm of civil law.[4][5][6]

History and influences

[edit]

Adopted on 10 December 1907 (and is thus formally known as theSwiss Civil Code of 10 December 1907), and in force since 1912. It was created byEugen Huber, it was subsequently translated in the two other national languages (at the timeRomansh was not official) byVirgile Rossel andBrenno Bertoni for French and Italian, respectively.[citation needed]

TheCivil code of the Republic of Turkey is a slightly modified version of the Swiss code, adopted in 1926 duringMustafa Kemal Atatürk's presidency as part of the government'sprogressive reforms and secularization.[7] The Swiss code also influenced the codes of several other states, such asPeru.[8]

In 1911, theSwiss Code of Obligations (SR 22)[9] was adopted and considered as the fifth part of the Swiss Civil Code. It thus became the first civil code to include commercial law.[10][11]

Content

[edit]

The Swiss Civil Code contains more than two thousands articles.[11] Its first article states that:

1 The law applies according to its wording or interpretation to all legal questions for which it contains a provision.
2 In the absence of a provision, the court shall decide in accordance with customary law and, in the absence of customary law, in accordance with the rule that it would make as legislator.
3 In doing so, the court shall follow established doctrine and case law.
