Where financial service providers (in particular those subject to the Financial Services Act (FIDLEG), as well as insurance companies and insurance intermediaries subject to the Insurance Act (VAG)) are plaintiffs or defendants in civil proceedings, the court must often take supervisory law into account alongside private law when reaching its decision. This can be relevant in civil proceedings in various ways. It may be taken into account by the court in the context of the judicial assessment of evidence, the interpretation of contracts in accordance with the law, or the systematic interpretation of the law.
