Questão jurídica principal
Whether Ammann satisfied the statutory conditions for renunciation of Swiss citizenship, especially the requirement of having no domicile in Switzerland and of possessing foreign citizenship.
Decisão extraída
The complaint was unfounded. The court held that the statutory precondition of no Swiss domicile was not shown, because the petitioner was residing and domiciled in Winterthur; proof of a foreign domicile in India was lacking.
Fundamentação extraída
Under Art. 6 of the federal act, renunciation is permitted only if the person has no domicile in Switzerland, is capable under the law of the country of residence, and has already acquired or been promised another nationality. The record did not establish a valid foreign domicile, and the Winterthur stay met the conditions of domicile/residence in Switzerland.
