§ 313 Act on the Introduction of the Swiss Civil Code - II. Publication

1. Every contract of sale, exchange, or donation concerning real estate must be published by the clerk of the court in the next issue of the official gazette, indicating the names of the seller and the buyer, as well as the designation of the property, unless significant public interest makes such publication appear undesirable, and provided that it does not involve contracts of sale that become necessary solely as a consequence of the installation or alteration of roads, paths, canals, and the like.
