The law can also be different if the tort offence is committed in High Seas for example!

My suspicion is there is similar or equivalent (if not identical) law in other jurisdictions in Europe.
Sorry, but I still have to disagree. Like I said, an action on an English law can only be applied to:
  • an English citizen (outside or inside English land/water)
  • a non English citizen inside English land/water
  • a non English citizen (outside English land/water) that in any way has attacked England (off course in accordance to agreements between England and the attackers country)

I might be wrong, but I’m pretty confident I’m not.

But off course, if that law also exists in Switzerland, that’s another issue. However it will be up to Swiss law to take action.
