Art. 39 Subsidies Act (SubvA)
1 The authority that granted a subsidy by decision may revoke it under the following conditions.
2 In the revocation decision, the authority generally requires the total or partial restitution of the subsidy already paid.
3 Subject to the following provisions, restitution can only be partial when justified by particular circumstances.
4 Before revoking its decision, the authority informs the subsidy recipient of its intention and gives them the opportunity to express their views.
5 When the recipient is at fault or when justified by other circumstances, the amounts to be returned shall bear interest at the rate determined by the Government as soon as the reason for revocation has arisen.
6 The revocation decision that has come into force serves as a definitive discharge order within the meaning of Article 80 of the Federal Act on Debt Enforcement and Bankruptcy.
