Adopted on 10 December 1907 (and is thus formally known as the
Swiss Civil Code of 10 December 1907), and in force since 1912. It was created by
Eugen Huber, it was subsequently translated in the two other national languages (at the time
Romansh was not official) by
Virgile Rossel and
Brenno Bertoni for French and Italian, respectively. The
Civil code of the Republic of Turkey is a slightly modified version of the Swiss code, adopted in 1926 during
Mustafa Kemal Atatürk's presidency as part of the government's
progressive reforms and secularization. The Swiss code also influenced the codes of several other states, such as
Peru. In 1911, the
Swiss Code of Obligations (SR 22) was adopted and considered as the fifth part of the Swiss Civil Code. It thus became the first civil code to include commercial law. == Content ==
