This SMI Policy Paper addresses Swiss law and implications of legal liability/duty of care for organisations based in Switzerland. It was written by Michel Chavanne, a Swiss labour law expert. It is a Swiss-specific follow-up to the earlier five-country review ‘Can you get sued?’ issued in 2011. This Swiss-specific Policy Paper draws a number of conclusions and provides policy recommendations which are consistent with the cross-country review issued by SMI in 2011.

 

This new Policy Paper was launched in Geneva and Zurich in November 2012, in collaboration with the International SOS Foundation which provided support for this project. It has received interest from several media in Switzerland. The original French version is also available in German and English.
