Swiss Civil Code

¹Any per­son who is in­jured by an un­law­ful act or omis­sion re­lated to of­fi­cial adult pro­tec­tion meas­ures has the right to dam­ages and, if jus­ti­fied by the ser­i­ous­ness of the in­jury it, to sat­is­fac­tion.

²The same right ap­plies if the adult pro­tec­tion au­thor­ity or the su­per­vis­ory au­thor­ity be­haves un­law­fully in re­la­tion to oth­er adult pro­tec­tion mat­ters.

³The can­ton is li­able; the in­jured party has no right to dam­ages against the per­son who caused the in­jury.

⁴The can­ton's right of re­course against the per­son that caused the in­jury is gov­erned by the can­ton­al law.
