Swiss Civil Code

¹ On dis­sol­u­tion of a leg­al en­tity, and un­less provided oth­er­wise by law, the art­icles of as­so­ci­ation, the found­ing charter or the gov­ern­ing bod­ies, its as­sets pass to the state au­thor­ity (Con­fed­er­a­tion, can­ton, com­mune) to which the en­tity had been as­signed ac­cord­ing to its ob­jects.

² Such as­sets must be used as far as pos­sible for the ori­gin­al pur­pose.

³ Where a leg­al en­tity is dis­solved due to its pur­suit of im­mor­al or un­law­ful ob­jects, the as­sets pass to the state au­thor­ity even where con­trary pro­vi­sion has been made.⁸²
