Federal Act
on the Amendment of the Swiss Civil Code
(Part Five: The Code of Obligations)

¹ The con­tract is ex­tin­guished on the death or in­ca­pa­city of the au­thor be­fore the work is com­pleted or in the event that the au­thor is pre­ven­ted from com­plet­ing it through no fault of his own.

² By way of ex­cep­tion, the court may au­thor­ise the full or par­tial con­tinu­ation of the con­tract, where this is deemed both feas­ible and equit­able, and or­der any ne­ces­sary meas­ures.

³ In the event of the pub­lish­er’s bank­ruptcy, the ori­gin­at­or may en­trust the work to an­oth­er pub­lish­er un­less he is fur­nished with se­cur­ity for per­form­ance of the pub­lish­ing ob­lig­a­tions not yet due at the time bank­ruptcy pro­ceed­ings were com­menced.
