Swiss Civil Procedure Code

¹If it is im­possible or un­reas­on­able to quanti­fy the amount of the debt at the start of the pro­ceed­ings, the plaintiff may bring an ac­tion for an un­quan­ti­fied debt. However, the plaintiff must in­dic­ate a min­im­al amount as a pro­vi­sion­al value in dis­pute.

²Once evid­ence is taken or the re­quired in­form­a­tion fur­nished by the de­fend­ant, the plaintiff must quanti­fy the debt claim as soon as he or she is able to do so. The seised court main­tains com­pet­ence even if the value in dis­pute ex­ceeds its ma­ter­i­al jur­is­dic­tion.
