Art. 6 Bundesgesetz vom 4. Dezember 1947 über den Bundeszivilprozess (BZP)
BZP; Zweiter Titel: Allgemeine Grundsätze des Verfahrens; Aussetzen und Ruhen des Verfahrens
Art. 6 BZP
Der Richter kann aus Gründen der Zweckmässigkeit das Verfahren aussetzen, insbesondere wenn das Urteil von der Entscheidung in einem anderen Rechtsstreit beeinflusst werden kann.
Von Gesetzes wegen ruht das Verfahren in den besonders bestimmten Fällen und bei Tod einer Partei.
Im letzteren Falle ist die Fortsetzung zu verfügen, sobald die Erbschaft nicht mehr ausgeschlagen werden kann oder die amtliche Liquidation angeordnet ist. Vorbehalten bleibt die vorherige Fortsetzung dringlicher Prozesse durch Erbschaftsvertreter.
Sind die für die Verfügung der Fortsetzung erforderlichen Angaben über die Rechtsnachfolge weder von der Erbengemeinschaft noch von der Gegenseite erhältlich, so wird der Prozess abgeschrieben.
