Swiss Civil Code

¹ The pos­sessor of a chat­tel who does not pur­port to be its own­er may in­voke the pre­sump­tion that the per­son from whom he or she re­ceived it in good faith is the own­er.

² Where a per­son pos­sess­ing a chat­tel in­vokes a lim­ited right in rem or a per­son­al right, the ex­ist­ence of such a right is pre­sumed, but such pre­sump­tion can­not be in­voked against the per­son from whom the pos­sessor re­ceived the chat­tel.
