ABSTRACT The Coronavirus is a stress test not only for society but also for the legal order. It is usually the government first to respond. Still, Parliaments play an important role in the time of crisis as well. This is especially the case the longer the pandemic lasts. The Swiss Federal Parliament has seized its operations early in the pandemic. It has reconvened in May for an extraordinary session. The main topic of this session was the approval of the government’s emergency measures. It was expected that the Parliament will also debate initiatives for emergency law from its members and that it will decide on its modus operandi. Also, the decision for an abortion of the session at the wake of the crisis was discussed. Proposals are to be expected to allow sessions by video conference. The paper will deal with the aforementioned questions from a legal perspective. It will analyse the nature of and the relationship between emergency law by the executive and the legislative branch. It focuses on the function of Parliament and its modus operandi in the moment of crisis. It will refer mostly to the Swiss Federal Parliament but will also, especially in comparison, take a look at cantonal law and practice. Some preliminary conclusions are offered at the end of the paper.

对冠状病毒的立法反应(瑞士)

摘要 新冠病毒不仅是对社会的压力测试,也是对法律秩序的压力测试。通常是政府首先做出回应。尽管如此,议会在危机时期也发挥着重要作用。大流行持续的时间越长,情况尤其如此。瑞士联邦议会在大流行初期就已停止运作。它已于 5 月重新召开特别会议。本次会议的主要议题是批准政府的紧急措施。预计议会还将就其成员提出的紧急状态法倡议进行辩论,并将决定其运作方式。此外,还讨论了在危机之后中止会议的决定。预计提案将允许通过视频会议进行会议。本文将从法律角度处理上述问题。它将分析行政和立法部门的紧急法的性质和关系。它侧重于议会的职能及其在危机时刻的运作方式。它将主要涉及瑞士联邦议会,但也会,特别是在比较时,考察州法律和实践。文章最后给出了一些初步结论。
