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

¹ An ob­lig­or in de­fault is li­able in dam­ages for late per­form­ance and even for ac­ci­dent­al dam­age.

² He may dis­charge him­self from such li­ab­il­ity by prov­ing that his de­fault oc­curred through no fault of his own or that the ob­ject of per­form­ance would have suffered the ac­ci­dent­al dam­age to the det­ri­ment of the ob­li­gee even if per­form­ance had taken place promptly.
