A new code of procedure for lawsuits leads to a high cost risk for the claimant!
The legal insurance MULTI pays off especially since 2011: On January 1st 2011, a new code of procdure has come into force and as claimant you have a higher cost risk than before:
- the claimant has to pay an advancement at the full amount of the expected law costs.
- when winning a lawsuit, the claimant is not allowed anymore to demand the law costs from the court but mus demand them from the defendant.
- the defendant can demand a security payment from the claimant when the latter does not have a domicile in Switzerland and when he is suspect to insolvency or when he still ows law costs from a former lawsuit.
