One sunny afternoon, I got caught up in a fascinating discussion, the ins and outs of which I'm not sure I fully understood. It was about whether or not you can enter into a contract with yourself. The subject intrigues me and I'd love to have more details. Eric, Geneva In Swiss law, it is indeed...
My little boy is full of extravagant ideas. I'm very impressed with him. However, I'm also very worried because he doesn't know his limits and I'm afraid that his creativity could get him into trouble. A friend recently told me that the criminal law on minors had changed, but I didn't quite understand the changes and...
Like last week's reader, my return from holiday was a bit eventful, as I got into a tussle at boarding with another passenger who told me I'd broken his watch. He took my name and promised me legal action. What can I expect and where? G, Geneva...
After a superb holiday on an island paradise, I was sad to have to return and face the cold of Switzerland. I couldn't stand the attitude of some passengers during the flight, to the point where I insulted some of them... A stewardess calmed me down by saying that I risked being arrested when I got off the plane...
Christmas is coming and I'm getting ready to put our stockings in front of the fireplace.

Brigitte, Canton of Geneva Your daughter's question...
For Christmas, I ordered a piece of jewellery from a high-end brand for my mum. I found it at a very attractive price on an Asian website. However, I received a letter from customs informing me that my parcel had been seized and that I could face problems... What's happening to me? Kendall Every year, many...
Interested in law and a fan of TV series about justice, I attended a civil hearing at court. I noticed that in Switzerland, too, each party must prove their case before the judge. However, I wondered whether facts that are well known to everyone are subject to the same requirement...
My son had a road accident during his military service and was convicted. What consequences will this have for him in civilian life? Muriel, Geneva Your concern is legitimate, but rest assured: a military conviction does not necessarily mean an indelible stain on your son's record. Unlike...
I would like to invite my friends to a big tactical game in the forest. Just for fun, among ourselves, with a few obstacles, smoke (organic, of course) and victory cries. If it catches on – who knows? – I will try to launch my own outdoor adventure concept. But before organising everything...
