Different laws in Switzerland.


sort by: page size:

Switzerland has such laws.

Which Swiss law are you referring to?

Sometimes it's law (like in Switzerland).

Please show us the Swiss law.

How are these laws enforced outside of Switzerland?

Is this actually legal in Switzerland?

Switzerland's regulations are far, far stricter than those in the US.

At least in Switzerland, it isn't. This is a law that would cover a future hypothetical situation.

I’m wondering if these new regulations apply to Switzerland as well.

Cantons in Switzerland don't have their own separate criminal law systems, for example.

Switzerland has strong privacy laws.

But Swiss law can't make a request like that.

Thanks for that, I wasn't aware Switzerland had similar provisions, I thought it was just the state of California.

Switzerland is a grouping of "Cantons" and each has very distinct autonomy. Some of them are far more conservative than others, and are going to have judges who are going to make decisions accordingly.

As much as we might like to believe it, law is not universally applied in a fair manner. Swiss authorities will approve requests that are total garbage requests. I happen to be on the receiving end of one of those, which was eventually, after significant time, effort and money thrown out for prejudice.


This is not true however, as under Swiss law, Swiss authorities don't have the legal power to issue such an order. Swiss law is very clear on this point.

Same thing happens in Switzerland.

Have Swiss courts decided otherwise? I can't find anything indicating they have.

Source in Swiss law?

Actually Switzerland will most likely have to take this action itself, as the Swiss law now contradicts itself in this aspect.
