Published verdict
Delete

The law looks obsolete, unjustified, or duplicative.

Summary

This law sets procedural rules for civil disputes heard by the Federal Supreme Court as sole instance under Article 120 BGG. It governs jurisdiction, pleadings, service, default, intervention, party representation, case management, evidence, and related court administration, while expressly relying on and being supplemented by chapters of the Federal Supreme Court Act.

Verdict reason
This is a residual procedural statute already subordinated to and supplemented by the BGG, with parts expressly repealed and much of its function absorbed by newer framework legislation. That makes it institutionally obsolete: a standalone 1947 process code layered on top of the BGG adds complexity, cross-references, and maintenance burden rather than indispensable protection for citizens.
