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

¹ A bill of ex­change made out for one or more months after it was drawn or after sight falls due on the cor­res­pond­ing day of the pay­ment month. If there is no such day, the bill falls due on the last day of the month.

² Where the bill of ex­change is made out for one or more months plus half a month after it was drawn or after sight, the full months are coun­ted first.

³ Where the ma­tur­ity date is ex­pressed as the be­gin­ning, middle or end of a month, such ex­pres­sion is deemed to mean the first, fif­teenth or last day of the month.

⁴ The ex­pres­sions ‘eight days’ or ‘fif­teen days’ mean not one or two weeks but a full eight or fif­teen days.

⁵ The ex­pres­sion ‘half-month’ means fif­teen days.
