¹ Rights in rem are es­tab­lished and as­signed their rank and date by vir­tue of be­ing entered in the main re­gister.

² The entry has ret­ro­act­ive ef­fect as of its re­cord­ing in the journ­al, provided the sup­port­ing doc­u­ments re­quired by law are in­cluded with the ap­plic­a­tion or, in the case of pro­vi­sion­al entries, are sub­mit­ted in good time.

³ In can­tons where the re­gis­trar draws up pub­lic deeds by means of an entry in an of­fi­cial re­cord of title, such a re­cord con­sti­tutes entry in the journ­al.
