Swiss Criminal Procedure Code

¹If the per­son suf­fer­ing harm dies without waiv­ing his or her pro­ced­ur­al rights as a private claimant, such rights pass to his or her re­l­at­ives as defined in Art­icle 110 para­graph 1 SCC¹ in ac­cord­ance with their rank­ing un­der the law of suc­ces­sion.

²Any per­son who by law ac­quires the rights as a claimant of a per­son suf­fer­ing harm does so only in re­spect of the civil claim and has only those pro­ced­ur­al rights that re­late dir­ectly to the as­ser­tion of the civil claim.
