Swiss Civil Code

¹ The new law ap­plies to di­vorce pro­ceed­ings that are pending on the com­mence­ment of the Fed­er­al Act of 26 June 1998⁷²⁹ and which must be judged by a can­ton­al au­thor­ity.

² New leg­al re­quests that are re­quired due to the change in the ap­plic­able law are per­mit­ted; un­con­tested parts of the judg­ment re­main bind­ing, un­less they are ma­ter­i­ally so closely con­nec­ted with the re­quests that re­main to be judged that it makes sense to re­as­sess the en­tire case

³ The Fed­er­al Su­preme Court de­cides in ac­cord­ance with the pre­vi­ous law in cases where the con­tested judg­ment was is­sued be­fore the com­mence­ment of the Fed­er­al Act of 26 June 1998; this also ap­plies if the case is re­ferred back to the can­ton­al au­thor­ity.
