Swiss Federal Code of Administrative Procedure

The Swiss Federal Code of Administrative Procedure is a set of rules that guides how administrative decisions are made, reviewed, and challenged in Switzerland. It ensures government agencies act fairly, transparently, and consistently by establishing procedures for submitting requests, conducting investigations, and handling appeals or grievances. The code aims to protect individuals’ rights while providing a clear framework for administrative processes, promoting accountability and efficiency within public administration. In essence, it standardizes how administrative actions are carried out and reviewed to ensure lawful and fair treatment of all parties involved.
