Der Aktenschluss nach der Schweizerischen Zivilprozessordnung

The closing of the case refers to the specific point in civil proceedings determined directly by law, after which factual assertions and evidence can only be considered under the conditions of the new evidence law. Although the preclusion has immediate procedural consequences, late submissions can indirectly lead to losing the case and the forfeiture of rights. By incorporating the latest literature and case law from the Federal Court, it is demonstrated when the closing of the case occurs in ordinary, simplified, and summary proceedings, taking into account the various procedural principles and variants of judicial case management.
