German term or phrase: Art. 704 OR

Für wichtige Beschlüsse gemäss Art. 704 OR sind XX% der vetretenen Stimmen und der vetretenen Atkiennennwerte erforderlich.

I am pretty sure OR stands for Obligationsrecht here, but I am not sure how to write this. Should I leave it as it is is 'Art. 704 OR' or say 'Art. 704 of the Swiss Law of Obligations' perhaps?

TIA

Sheila

You may write CO in brackets, because this corresponds also to the French abreviation (Code des Obligations)

Law on Obligations

Explanation:
This is the way I do it: Art. 704 OR ["Obligationsrecht" = Law on Obligations].
This way, if the OR appears again you just leave it as is.
