Art. 11a 2. Applicable law (1)
1 Acts of legal assistance are carried out in Switzerland in accordance with Swiss law.
2 Foreign forms of procedure may also be followed or taken into consideration on application of the requesting authorities where this is necessary for the recognition of a right abroad and provided there are no important countervailing reasons relating to the person involved.
3 If a form of procedure under Swiss law is not recognised abroad and as a result a right deemed worthy of protection would not be upheld there, the Swiss courts or authorities may issue documents or take a person’s oath pursuant to the form required by the foreign law.
4 The Hague Convention of 1 March 1954 (2) on Civil Procedure applies to requests to and from Switzerland for service and the taking of evidence.
