Quick Summary

System und Geschichte des schweizerischen Privatrechtes is a significant work by Swiss jurist Eugen Huber. Published in four volumes between 1886 and 1893, it is a comprehensive study of the various cantonal legal systems in Switzerland.1

Huber was commissioned in 1892 to develop a Swiss civil code, which he completed in 1904 and which came into effect in 1912. This code aimed to unify Switzerland's diverse cantonal laws, which often conflicted. Influenced by the Napoleonic Code and the German Civil Code, Huber incorporated much material indigenous to Switzerland. The code covers the law of persons, family matters, succession, and property, providing much-needed uniformity in Swiss private law.12
