Swiss Legal Graph
Swiss law. Fully connected.
1.5 million nodes, almost 20 million relationships: the Jurata® Legal Agent considers not just individual sources, but always their full context.
Citation links
Where is a provision cited?
For every provision and every judgment, the graph knows the sources that refer to it. The Jurata Legal Agent retrieves these citation links during its research and finds the relevant case law – even when it uses different terms than your question.
Citations between statutes, judgments and decisions
References resolved down to paragraph and letter
Federal law and the law of all 26 cantons
Course of proceedings
Which path has a judgment taken?
From the district court through the high court to the Federal Supreme Court: the graph links every judgment to its lower court and records how the proceedings ended. This lets the Jurata Legal Agent recognise which decisions were confirmed and which were set aside.
Authority practice
What practice exists on a provision?
Circulars, practice notes and directives show how authorities apply the law. In the graph, they are attached to the provisions they interpret – such as the practice notes of the Federal Commercial Registry Office on the capital band.
FINMA circulars and practice notes of the FCRO
Circulars of the FTA and cantonal tax administrations
Current status
Has a judgment since been set aside?
A decision set aside by the next instance cannot support an answer. The Jurata Legal Agent sees this in the graph before it answers, flags decisions that were set aside and backs its answer with the original passage.
Lower-court decisions set aside are flagged
Amended and repealed provisions are recognised
Every statement backed by the original passage and consideration
No. Anyone who suddenly steps onto a tram track without making sure that no tram is approaching, because they are looking at a mobile phone, acts with gross negligence – the tram operator is released from liability.
