The Swiss Rules of International Arbitration – Five Years of Experience | Kluwer Arbitration Blog, Sep 29, 2009
by Georg von Segesser and Philippe Bärtsch for Schellenberg Wittmer -- "The Swiss Rules of International Arbitration (the “Swiss Rules”) entered into force on 1 January 2004. These rules were originally adopted by the Chambers of Commerce and Industry of Basel, Bern, Geneva, Ticino, Vaud and Zurich, and, most recently, Neuchâtel (the “Chambers”). Since their entry into force five years ago, the Swiss Rules have been well received, both in Switzerland and abroad. This is evidenced by the growing number of arbitrations administered by the Chambers. Over the past five years, the number of Swiss Rules arbitration has continuously increased, reaching a total of 339 cases by June 2009."

In the case at hand, a Hungarian company had entered into a construction contract with a Swiss company for the modernization of an electro steel plant with a COSS-charging system.

The Use of Evidence Obtained in US-American Discovery in International Civil Procedure Law and Arbitration in Switzerland | Müller-Chen, ASA Bulletin 2/2009, 196-212 (via Kluwer Law Online)
"The gathering of evidence is a key element in legal proceedings. Contrary to the regulations in Switzerland, the US legal order allows for pre-trial discovery, i.e. the parties are entrusted with the collecting of evidence at an early stage. This diverging approach becomes relevant in civil proceedings or arbitral proceedings in Switzerland with a linkage to the USA. The question arises if and how parties may profit from the US-American discovery procedure. This paper wants to answer the question by examining the use of evidence gathered in US-American discovery in international proceedings before Swiss courts as well as arbitral tribunals located in Switzerland. Part one concentrates on the possibilities and limitations of legal assistance pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1782. In part two the utilization of evidence collected in discovery procedure in Switzerland, in the event of a party seeking legal assistance individually, is evaluated. Thereby, special consideration is given to the Hague Evidence Convention and the Swiss ordre public. The paper concludes with a short summary of the author’s findings and rationalizations why evidence collected in discovery proceedings should be admitted."

Recent Developments in Swiss Law in the Field of the Protection of Depositors | Schellenberg Wittmer Newsletter April 2009
"Following the marked aggravation of the financial crisis in autumn 2008, the Federal Council, the Swiss National Bank and the FINMA decided that certain provisions of the Federal Law on Banks and Savings Banks applicable in case of bank insolvency should be amended. The Federal Council chose to act in two stages. It decided that certain amendments had to be passed quickly and it simultaneously instructed the Federal Department of Finance to elaborate a project with deeper amendments to the system of deposit guarantee. The content of this project is not yet public."
