Federal Act
on Private International Law
(PILA)

¹ The Swiss ju­di­cial or ad­min­is­trat­ive au­thor­it­ies val­idly seized of ac­tions or ap­plic­a­tions made be­fore the com­mence­ment of this Act shall con­tin­ue to have jur­is­dic­tion even if this Act does no longer provide for their jur­is­dic­tion.

² It is pos­sible to bring again, after the com­mence­ment of this Act, ac­tions or ap­plic­a­tions dis­missed for lack of jur­is­dic­tion by the Swiss ju­di­cial or ad­min­is­trat­ive au­thor­it­ies be­fore that date if the jur­is­dic­tion of a Swiss court or au­thor­ity is provided for in this Act and the claim may still be as­ser­ted.
