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

¹ Where the ob­lig­or un­der a bi­lat­er­al con­tract is in de­fault, the ob­li­gee is en­titled to set an ap­pro­pri­ate time lim­it for sub­sequent per­form­ance or to ask the court to set such time lim­it.

² If per­form­ance has not been rendered by the end of that time lim­it, the ob­li­gee may com­pel per­form­ance in ad­di­tion to su­ing for dam­ages in con­nec­tion with the delay or, provided he makes an im­me­di­ate de­clar­a­tion to this ef­fect, he may in­stead fore­go sub­sequent per­form­ance and either claim dam­ages for non-per­form­ance or with­draw from the con­tract al­to­geth­er.
