The law broadly serves citizens without excessive burden.

Summary

This FINMA ordinance implements the statutory bankruptcy procedure for supervised insurance companies. It sets the forum, publication and notification rules, access to files, appointment and control of the bankruptcy liquidator, treatment of domestic and foreign assets and creditors, creditor meetings and committees, inventory and surrender duties, handling of third-party claims, collection and litigation of estate assets, possible suspension for lack of assets, and examination of claims including those tied to tied assets securing insurance obligations.

Verdict reason
Insurance insolvency needs a clear, centralized procedure to marshal assets, rank claims, protect policyholders tied to dedicated assets, and coordinate cross-border creditors. The ordinance is procedural rather than market-distorting, and removing it would create uncertainty and disorder in insurer bankruptcies that private ordering cannot realistically replace.
