2.4.3 Keeping of deadlines 1 An act is deemed to have been performed on time if it has been undertaken by 24:00 Swiss time on the deadline date. 2 For the purpose of preserving deadlines, submissions may be made physically, via fax or by electronic means. In the case of physical submissions, the deadline is deemed to have been met if the submission is handed to the Swiss postal service or to an express courier by the deadline. 3 If an original signature is required for the validity of a document that has been submitted via fax or electronically, this original signature must be supplied immediately.
