Swiss Criminal Procedure Code
(Criminal Procedure Code, CrimPC)

¹ The court shall or­der the meas­ures re­ques­ted or oth­er meas­ures if it is sat­is­fied that the ac­cused com­mit­ted the act but is not leg­ally re­spons­ible due to a men­tal dis­order and that meas­ure is re­quired. It shall de­cide on any civil claims at the same time.

² The or­der in re­spect of the meas­ure and the de­cision on the civil claims are is­sued in a judg­ment.

³ If the court is sat­is­fied that the ac­cused has the men­tal ca­pa­city to be leg­ally re­spons­ible or that he or she com­mit­ted the of­fences while lack­ing such men­tal ca­pa­city, it shall re­ject the ap­plic­a­tion made by the pub­lic pro­sec­utor. When this de­cision be­comes leg­ally bind­ing, the pre­lim­in­ary pro­ceed­ings against the ac­cused shall be con­tin­ued.
