Swiss Criminal Procedure Code
(Criminal Procedure Code, CrimPC)

¹ Claims for com­pens­a­tion and sat­is­fac­tion in ap­pel­late pro­ceed­ings are gov­erned by Art­icles 429–434.

² Where the ac­cused is neither fully nor partly ac­quit­ted and the pro­ceed­ings are not aban­doned but the ac­cused is suc­cess­ful on oth­er points, he or she is en­titled to ap­pro­pri­ate com­pens­a­tion for his or her ex­pendit­ure.

³ If the ap­pel­late au­thor­ity quashes a de­cision in ac­cord­ance with Art­icle 409, the parties are en­titled to ap­pro­pri­ate com­pens­a­tion for their ex­pendit­ure in the ap­pel­late pro­ceed­ings and that part of the pro­ceed­ings be­fore the court of first in­stance that re­lated to the quashed de­cision.

⁴ An ac­cused who is ac­quit­ted or re­ceives a re­duced sen­tence fol­low­ing a re­view of the case is en­titled to ap­pro­pri­ate com­pens­a­tion for his or her ex­pendit­ure in the re­view pro­ceed­ings. He or she is also en­titled to sat­is­fac­tion and com­pens­a­tion for time spent in cus­tody, provided this depriva­tion of liberty can­not be not ac­coun­ted for in sanc­tions im­posed in re­spect of oth­er of­fences.
