Hugo Oser

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hugo Oser (born August 29, 1863 in Pfeffingen ; † March 16, 1930 in Freiburg im Üechtland ) was a Swiss legal scholar and federal judge . He was involved in the creation of the Swiss Code of Obligations , which came into force in 1912.

Life

He was born in the canton of Basel-Landschaft and attended high school and lyceum in Einsiedeln and Schwyz . Oser studied law in Munich , Strasbourg and Basel . He received his doctorate in Basel in 1888. He then worked as a lawyer and court clerk in Arlesheim and later continued his legal studies in Berlin and Paris. From 1894 to 1912 he took over the newly established chair for Swiss private law at the University of Friborg (Switzerland) .

On January 5, 1900, Hugo Oser prepared an opinion on the question of adapting the Code of Obligations to the Civil Code at the request of the Justice and Police Department . The Federal Department of Justice and Police formed a special commission in May 1901 to examine the question of adapting and revising the Code of Obligations and also had to discuss the introductory provisions. This included Hugo Oser, among others. However, due to various delays, the commission did not meet until September 19, 1904. The two drafts of Professor Eugen Huber , which he had submitted at the end of 1903, were discussed until October 7th. This draft of the commission was presented by the Federal Council to the Federal Assembly on March 3, 1905. On March 19, 1908, the Federal Department of Justice and Police appointed a further commission (the so-called large commission of experts), of which Oser was also a member, for the purpose of thorough deliberation and appraisal of the Federal Council's draft of March 3, 1905. This discussed in three sessions (4th Until May 9, October 12 to 23, 1908 and March 1 to 10, 1909). In the message of June 1, 1909, the commission of experts submitted a second proposal.

Oser became a federal judge in Lausanne in 1912 and left the University of Freiburg. He was a judge in the 1st and 2nd civil divisions and died in office in 1930.
