It focuses on the conditions, limits and procedures for the provision of information, as well as enforcement through legal action under Article 697 of the Swiss Code of Obligations (OR).

The article thus offers valuable guidance for practitioners navigating the tension between shareholders’ interests in information and the company’s interests in confidentiality.
