I've been looking for a house to buy at a reasonable price for a long time, and I was lucky enough to be offered a preview of a flat in a development zone in Geneva. I was just about to sign a reservation agreement when my application was rejected on the sole grounds that I live in the canton of Vaud,...
I enjoy strolling through the streets of Geneva, which have recently been plastered with countless posters for the forthcoming 'municipal' elections. I suppose it's too late to stand, but I might be interested in doing so in future elections. A friend told me that you can be elected even if you're a foreigner...
During a discussion, my young son solemnly announced that he wanted to make a career "in the Geneva police by becoming a gendarme to fight crime". I pointed out to him that the gendarmerie was not part of the police force, but he insisted that it was. I did a bit of research and as a result I couldn't...
I work for a toy company that experiences a considerable peak in activity around Christmas. Can I be expected to work until I'm exhausted in order to meet last-minute orders? Does the law say anything about production methods or working conditions in this context? Finally, certain practices...

My neighbour has built a shed in his garden that requires planning permission. Apparently, he never applied for permission. After some heated exchanges with the authorities following a report, nothing has happened for a long time. I'm wondering whether the passage of time can benefit my neighbour and whether he...
I'm a sales assistant in a sports shop. My boss has an unpleasant tendency to contact me during my holidays or holidays to ask me questions about just about everything... Am I at risk if I don't check her messages? I've heard about a "right to disconnect", how do I...
I moved to the United States to study for a few months. I've just turned 18 and I know that in this country, the age of majority is 21. I'm wondering whether, as a Swiss national, I can claim the age of majority applicable in my country of origin... K. As...
