Swiss Civil Code

¹ Where a per­son uses an­oth­er per­son’s plants on his or her own land or his or her own plants on an­oth­er per­son’s land, the same rights and ob­lig­a­tions arise as for the use of build­ing ma­ter­i­als or for mov­able struc­tures.

² An ease­ment cor­res­pond­ing to a build­ing right may be cre­ated in re­spect of in­di­vidu­al plants and plant­a­tions for a min­im­um of ten and a max­im­um of 100 years.⁵⁶⁶

³ The ser­vi­ent own­er may re­quest the ter­min­a­tion of the ease­ment be­fore the end of the agreed dur­a­tion in the event of the ter­min­a­tion of a lease agree­ment con­cluded between him or her and the ease­ment be­ne­fi­ciary con­cern­ing the use of the land. The court shall de­term­ine the fin­an­cial con­sequences tak­ing due ac­count of all the cir­cum­stances.⁵⁶⁷
