Life

Rey studied law at the University of Zurich and did his doctorate in 1970 under Arthur Meier-Hayoz with a dissertation on the subject of "Legal biosphere protection and private property". After several years in law, Rey returned to the University of Zurich in 1974, initially as Meier-Hayoz's assistant, and from 1978 as senior assistant at the Institute of Law. During this time he wrote the second edition of the first delivery of the Bern Commentary on easements established by Hans Leemann , which he submitted as a habilitation thesis .

In 1983 the Federal Council elected him head of the Federal Land Registry . During his official activity, Heinz Rey was among other things a member of a commission of experts charged with working out new provisions for keeping the land register with electronic data processing, as well as the commission of experts for the revision of peasant land law . After almost three years in the service of the federal administration, Rey accepted a professorship for private law at the ETH Zurich in 1985 . Two years later he moved to a chair at the University of Zurich, where he taught until his retirement in 2007.

Rey has published numerous high-profile articles on private law. His comments on property law (in addition to his previously mentioned habilitation thesis, the commentary on various articles in the Basel Commentary and the volume on condominium ownership in the Bern Commentary) as well as the floor plan published three times on property law should be emphasized . In addition, he wrote a textbook on non-contractual liability law and, together with Jörg Schmid, continued the presentation of the general part of the Code of Obligations, founded by Peter Gauch and Walter R. Schluep .

For the “ Zeitschrift des Bernischen Juristenverein ”, Rey wrote the annual overviews of the case law of the Federal Supreme Court from 1986 to 2005.
