Russia - Criminal Liability for Compliance
The Russian bill on countersanctions is soon to become a law. Its ambiguity may cause difficulties in assessing possible risks for the market operators. Two other bills on administrative and criminal liability for compliance with western sanctions are still in discussion.
Functional equivalence
Blockchain technology opens up new possibilities to implement established legal institutions such as ownership or legal transactions in a technically functionally equivalent manner. The authors propose to recognize a digital system as functionally equivalent to the existence of a legal institution or to a legally valid transactions which fulfils all substantive and/or formal requirements that Swiss law attaches to it. These requirements are subject to judicial review and can be specified in law. This creates immediate legal certainty and can focus on what is necessary from a regulative perspective.
