Droit de bail

The law of obligations is undoubtedly one of the most important branches of civil law, particularly in the area of contract law. An obligation is a civil legal relationship under which one person (the debtor) is required to perform a specific action for another person (the creditor) in one way or another: transferring property, performing work, paying money, etc., or refraining from a certain action, and the creditor has the right to demand the debtor fulfill their obligation.

​

Thus, an obligation has a social and/or economic purpose, depending on the situation. Contracts, unilateral transactions, and others serve as the basis for obligations.

​

Swiss law of obligations consists of two parts: a general part that refers to civil liability law and the general rules for concluding a contract, and a special part that refers to specific types of Swiss contracts. These particular types of contracts include (non-exhaustive list):

  • Swiss sales contract

  • Contract of donation

  • Employment contract

  • Lease and service contract

  • Rental contract

  • Manufacturing contract

  • Commission contract

  • Swiss power of attorney

  • Guarantee contract

  • Partnership contract, etc.
