Freezing order: leading case Swiss Federal Court

In a leading case on 3 April 2019, the Swiss Federal Supreme Court ruled that improper novas, i.e. facts that arose before the decision of the first instance, are admissible in attachment opposition proceedings before the second instance. Since January 1, 1997, this question has been of great concern to lawyers and courts (Swiss freezing orders: see www.attachment.ch).

The VISCHER litigation and enforcement team was headed by Felix C. Meier-Dieterle (Partner), Nicole Brauchli-Jageneau (Associate) and Julia Käser (Associate).
