Cette édition spéciale réunit les commentaires de ces textes publiés dans le cadre du Commentaire romand du Code des obligations. Les dispositions sur le droit de révocation en matière de démarchage et d'excursion-vente et sur le contrat de voyage à forfait sont commentées pour la première fois en français. Le commentaire de la nouvelle loi sur le crédit à la consommation, qui vise avant tout à prévenir le surendettement du consommateur preneur d'un crédit à la consommation (vente par acomptes, petit crédit, leasing de biens de consommation, crédit en compte-courant, cartes de crédit et de client avec option de crédit), est même le premier à analyser de façon systématique les dispositions de la nouvelle LCC entrée en vigueur le 1er janvier 2003.

The EU AI Act: Update on the application timeline and implications for Swiss companies

The EU AI Act: Update on the application timeline and implications for…

Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 of 13 June 2024 laying down harmonised rules on Artificial Intelligence (“AI Act”) marked a significant milestone in the European Union's regulation of AI technologies. Due to its extraterritorial application, also companies based in Switzerland and other non-EU-countries may potentially be subject to the AI Act. The AI Act formally entered into force one year ago, but its substantive rules are applied in a phased approach. Effective 2 August 2025, a significant number of provisions under the AI Act came into force, while the final set of its provisions will only enter into force on 2 August 2026 and 2 August 2027, respectively.

OFAC sanctions enforcement against Interactive Brokers: Important compliance lessons (also) for Swiss financial institutions

OFAC sanctions enforcement against Interactive Brokers: Important…

On 15 July 2025, the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC") announced a settlement with Interactive Brokers LLC ("IB"), a U.S.-based global brokerage firm. The case, which resulted in a penalty of nearly USD 12 million, arose from compliance deficiencies related to sanctions screening, client location controls and oversight of introducing brokers. Although the enforcement action concerns U.S. regulations, it offers highly relevant lessons for Swiss financial institutions. In particular, the case illustrates how U.S. authorities evaluate the effectiveness of sanctions compliance frameworks in digital and cross-border contexts. OFAC's findings underscore the importance of integrating technical access controls (e.g., IP filtering), robust screening and escalation procedures, as well as careful oversight of third-party introducers.
