Sehr geehrte Kunden und Geschäftsfreunde Nach einem langwierigen Differenzbereinigungsverfahren zwischen Nationalrat und Ständerat verabschiedete das Parlament am 15. Juni 2018 das neue Verjährungs-recht. Die Referendumsfrist läuft noch bis am 4. Oktober 2018. Anlass zur Revision gab unter anderem das Schicksal von Asbestgeschädigten, deren Forderungen nach bisherigem Recht bereits verjährt waren, lange bevor ihre asbestbedingte Krankheit in Erscheinung trat. Wann das neue Verjährungsrecht in Kraft treten wird, steht noch nicht fest. Dies dürfte aber nicht vor dem 1. Januar 2020 sein. Nachfolgend werden die wichtigsten Änderungen des Verjährungsrechts kurz dargestellt und erklärt. Maja Krapf

Dear Clients and Business Partners Following a lengthy reconciliation process between the National Council and the Council of States, on 15 June 2018 the Parliament adopted the new law on the statute of limitation. The referendum period continues to run until 4 October 2018. The law was revised, amongst other reasons, due to the fate of persons exposed to asbestos, whose claims had already become time-barred under existing law, long before symptoms of their asbestos-related illness became apparent. It is not yet clear when the new law on the statute of limitation will come into force. However, it is not expected to occur before 1 January 2020. In the following, the most important changes to the law on the statute of limitation are briefly presented and explained. Maja Krapf

Chers clients et partenaires commerciaux Après une procédure d’élimination des divergences de longue haleine entre le Conseil national et le Conseil des Etats, le Parlement a adopté en date du 15 juin 2018 le nouveau droit de la prescription. Le délai référendaire court encore jusqu’au 4 octobre 2018. Parmi les éléments qui ont conduit à la révision se posait notamment la question du sort des personnes affectées par l’amiante, dont les prétentions, en vertu de l’ancien droit, se trouvaient prescrites bien avant que n’apparaissent les premiers signes de maladie due à l’amiante. La date de l’entrée en vigueur du nouveau droit de la prescription n’a pas encore été fixée. Celle-ci ne devrait toutefois pas survenir avant le 1er janvier 2020. La présente contribution expose brièvement et commente les principales modifications du droit de la prescription. Maja Krapf
