Description
The Swiss Federal Statute on Debt Enforcement and Bankruptcy (SchKG) of 11th April 1889 is the principal source of rules on insolvency in Switzerland. It was considerably amended by Statute passed in 1994, and the revised version came into force on 1st January 1997. The statutory text exists in official German, French and Italian versions. This book offers an English translation of the 350 articles and the provisions of penal law referred to in the Statute. Particularly for the benefit of readers unfamiliar with Swiss law, the translation is preceded by a breif outline of debt enforcement procedures against natural persons and legal entities. An English translation of Articles 166 to 175 of the Federal Statute on Private International Law of 18th December 1987 relating to the recognition in Switzerland of foreign bankruptcy decrees and arrangements with creditors, is contained in an appendix. This book is aimed at Swiss and non-Swiss practitoners and scholars.
