The cantons may, unless federal law applies, impose consequences under public law (such as declaring a person unfit for public office or to carry on a profession or activities requiring authorisation) to unsuccessful distraint proceedings or a declaration of bankruptcy. These consequences may not include a withdrawal of the right to vote or be elected, or the publication of unpaid debt certificates.
The legal consequences must be revoked if the bankruptcy is annulled, if all creditors holding unpaid debt certificates have been repaid in full or their claims have become time-barred.
If the only creditor to sustain a loss is the debtor’s spouse or registered partner, no consequences under public law may be imposed for unsuccessful distraint proceedings or bankruptcy.1
