220 Loi fédérale du 30 mars 1911 complétant le code civil suisse (Livre cinquième: Droit des obligations)

Art. 420 II. Liability of the agent in general

1 The agent is liable for negligence.

2 However, where the agent acted in order to avert imminent damage to the principal, his liability is judged more leniently.

3 Where agency activities are carried out against the express or otherwise recognisable will of the principal and the prohibition was neither immoral nor illegal, the agent is also liable for chance occurrences unless he can prove that they would have occurred even without his involvement.

Art. 419 I. Exécution de l’affaire

Celui qui, sans mandat, gère l’affaire d’autrui, est tenu de la gérer conformément aux intérêts et aux intentions présumables du maître.
