FINMA bulletins and special bulletins

FINMA bulletins are directed at a wide circle of specialists, setting out in detail key, legally binding rulings issued by FINMA and decisions made by the Swiss Federal Court and the Swiss Federal Administrative Court that shape FINMA practice.

Bulletins: rulings and judgements summarised

Some of the considerations on rulings and decisions are summarised and published. They are preceded by a brief description of the content and a summary of the circumstances. Any Swiss Federal Court or Swiss Federal Administrative Court decision reproduced in FINMA bulletins includes those courts’ own brief description of content; here too, the circumstances may be summarised.

Rulings published in FINMA bulletins are generally anonymised. Rulings on a company’s dissolution or initiation of bankruptcy proceedings against it are, however, only anonymised if individuals are involved. Reproduction of court decisions in the FINMA bulletins precisely mirrors the form and manner in which the courts publish them.
