ZURICH: A Swiss court will decide within weeks whether UBS must hand over historical client data to French tax authorities, a ruling that could open the door to fresh financial claims against Switzerland's banks.

The court ruled that knowing the account number was enough, saying it was not an improper fishing expedition - a key point in France's case.
