Art. 934 Schweizerisches Zivilgesetzbuch (ZGB)
ZGB; Dritte Abteilung: Besitz und Grundbuch; Vierundzwanzigster Titel: Der Besitz; C. Bedeutung; II. Rechtsschutz; 4. Verfügungs- und Rückforderungsrecht; b. Bei abhanden gekommenen Sachen
Art. 934 ZGB
Der Besitzer, dem eine bewegliche Sache gestohlen wird oder verloren geht oder sonst wider seinen Willen abhanden kommt, kann sie während fünf Jahren jedem Empfänger abfordern. Vorbehalten bleibt Artikel 722.
Das Rückforderungsrecht für Kulturgüter im Sinne von Artikel 2 Absatz 1 des Kulturgütertransfergesetzes vom 20. Juni 2003 , die gegen den Willen des Eigentümers abhanden gekommen sind, verjährt ein Jahr, nachdem der Eigentümer Kenntnis erlangt hat, wo und bei wem sich das Kulturgut befindet, spätestens jedoch 30 Jahre nach dem Abhandenkommen.
Ist die Sache öffentlich versteigert oder auf dem Markt oder durch einen Kaufmann, der mit Waren der gleichen Art handelt, übertragen worden, so kann sie dem ersten und jedem spätern gutgläubigen Empfänger nur gegen Vergütung des von ihm bezahlten Preises abgefordert werden.
Die Rückleistung erfolgt im Übrigen nach den Vorschriften über die Ansprüche des gutgläubigen Besitzers.
