Lugano Convention in force in Switzerland

By Gilles Cuniberti

We had reported earlier on the willingness of Switzerland to apply the 2007 Lugano Convention in 2011.

Switzerland has indeed ratified the Convention on October 20th, 2010. The notice of the ratification to the Contracting Parties can be found here, and includes Switzerland’s reservations and declarations.

Switzerland’s official documents therefore provide that the Lugano Convention entered into force in Switzerland on January 1st, 2011. Other parties to the Convention, however, may think that it only entered into force on January 20th, i.e. three months after the new ratification.

Thanks to Rafaël Jafferali for the tip-off
