Provisional injunction against NZZ am Sonntag lifted

Until last Friday, the NZZ am Sonntag was not allowed to disclose the names of the pension funds, insurance companies and organizations involved in the run-up to the Swissfirst/Bellevue bank merger and was only allowed to report anonymously. On Friday, the provisional injunction issued by the Zurich District Court against NZZ am Sonntag was lifted. As the NZZ Am Sonntag announced in its last issue, it is now permitted to name the names of those involved. The case concerns the merger between the banks Swissfirst and Bellevue, which took place on September 12, 2005. The provisional injunction was obtained by the Swissfirst bank.
