There are complex factual situations.
However, these complex factual situations are never fully captured in a law even today.
The difficult part is always the interpretation of the law: whether a fact in a complex situation is described in the law, and if so, to which part. Intentional, partially intentional, negligent, etc. That is the complexity: the applicability.
Swiss laws (criminal and civil law) are well and clearly formulated, in stark contrast to the nearby EU countries. The complexity lies in their interpretation and thus in the jurisprudence.
