Personality law

Today, attacks resulting in damage to reputation are increasingly common. The development of information and communications technology, notably the internet and social media, has led to a constant rise in the number of delicate situations. It is therefore necessary to understand the means that allow every person, physical or moral, to protect themselves against attacks on their reputation and image. The laws on this subject are essentially found in the civil code and the criminal code, and in the last twenty years or so, Federal and cantonal laws on data protection have also played an increasingly important role.
