1 Le droit applicable aux trusts est régi par la Convention de La Haye du 1er juillet 1985 relative à la loi applicable au trust et à sa reconnaissance86.
2 Le droit désigné par ladite convention est également déterminant dans les cas où, conformément à son art. 5, elle n’est pas applicable, et où, conformément à son art. 13, l’État n’est pas tenu de reconnaître un trust.
1 Where the assets of the trust are registered in the name of the trustee in the land register, the ships register or the aircraft register, reference to the trust relationship can be made by adding a note.
2 Trust relationships affecting intellectual property rights registered in Switzerland shall be recorded on request in the relevant register.
3 A trust relationship that is not noted or recorded is not enforceable against third parties acting in good faith.
Art. 149e
V. Foreign decisions
1 Foreign decisions on matters concerning trust law are recognised in Switzerland:
a. if they were rendered by a court that was validly designated pursuant to Article 149b paragraph 1;
b. if they were rendered in the state in which the defendant was domiciled, habitually resident or had their establishment;
c. if they were rendered in the state in which the trust had its seat;
d. if they were rendered in the state whose law applies to the trust; or
e. if they are recognised in the state in which the trust has its seat, provided the defendant was not domiciled in Switzerland.
2 Article 165 paragraph 2 applies by analogy to foreign decisions relating to claims regarding public issues of equity or debt securities based on prospectuses, circulars or similar publications.
