Swiss Civil Code

¹ Any per­son who is in­jured by an un­law­ful act or omis­sion re­lated to of­fi­cial adult pro­tec­tion meas­ures has the right to dam­ages and, if jus­ti­fied by the ser­i­ous­ness of the in­jury, to sat­is­fac­tion.

² The same right ap­plies if the adult pro­tec­tion au­thor­ity or the su­per­vis­ory au­thor­ity be­haves un­law­fully in re­la­tion to oth­er adult pro­tec­tion mat­ters.

³ The can­ton is li­able; the per­son suf­fer­ing dam­age has no right to dam­ages against the per­son who caused the dam­age.

⁴ The can­ton's right of re­course against the per­son that caused the dam­age is gov­erned by the can­ton­al law.
