From the magazine
Ban on the Zoning of Land in Canton Zurich
Despite the rejection of the urban sprawl initiative, the canton of Zurich now has a ban on the zoning of land. This is due to the fact that the Value Added Compensation Act in the canton of Zurich will not enter into force on time.
Forum for disputes
In a new decision (4A_289/2018) the Swiss Federal Supreme Court confirms the view taken by Swiss legal scholars that an employer cannot file its claim against an employee at the venue of a branch ("Gerichtsstand der Niederlassung"; Art. 12 CPC).
