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

¹ An en­dorse­ment after ma­tur­ity has the same ef­fects as an en­dorse­ment pri­or to ma­tur­ity. However, where the bill of ex­change was en­dorsed only after protest for non-pay­ment or after ex­piry of the time lim­it for protest, the en­dorse­ment only has the ef­fects of a nor­mal as­sign­ment.

² Un­til the op­pos­ite is proven, it is pre­sumed that an un­dated en­dorse­ment was made on the bill of ex­change be­fore the time lim­it for protest ex­pired.
