Swiss Criminal Procedure Code
(Criminal Procedure Code, CrimPC)

¹ If this Code re­quires that the ap­pel­late rem­edy be ac­com­pan­ied by a state­ment of the grounds, the per­son or the au­thor­ity seek­ing the ap­pel­late rem­edy must in­dic­ate pre­cisely:

a.

which points of the de­cision are con­tested;

b.

what grounds there are for reach­ing a dif­fer­ent de­cision;

c.

what evid­ence they wish to ad­duce in sup­port of the ap­pel­late rem­edy.

² If the sub­mis­sion fails to sat­is­fy these re­quire­ments, the ap­pel­late au­thor­ity shall re­turn the same and fix a short ad­di­tion­al peri­od with­in which it may be amended. If the sub­mis­sion still fails to sat­is­fy the re­quire­ments after this ad­di­tion­al peri­od, the ap­pel­late au­thor­ity shall not con­sider the ap­pel­late rem­edy.

³ The in­cor­rect des­ig­na­tion of an ap­pel­late rem­edy does not ad­versely af­fect its valid­ity.
