5A_470/2025: Judgment on the Suspension of a Collocation Process
Summary of the Facts
This case concerned the suspension of a collocation process, which the Cantonal Court of Zug ordered due to an ongoing ICC arbitration proceeding. The plaintiff, a company legitimized by the assignment of a bankruptcy claim, contested this suspension decision before the Federal Court after both the Cantonal Court and the High Court of the Canton of Zug had dismissed their complaints against it. The plaintiff argued that the suspension would lead to undue delays and that the outcome of the ICC arbitration proceeding was not prejudicial to the collocation process.
Summary of the Considerations
The Federal Court examines the admissibility of the complaint ex officio and considers the contested decision as an interim decision within the meaning of Art. 93 BGG. The complaint is admissible if there is a risk of irreparable harm. In cases of alleged denial of justice, the condition of irreparable harm is waived. According to practice, the suspension of a procedure under Art. 126 ZPO constitutes a procedural directive. The Federal Court only reviews the constitutionality of the interpretation in such discretionary decisions, particularly regarding the prohibition of arbitrariness. According to the lower court, the collocation process should be appropriately suspended as the ICC arbitration could prejudge the collocation process in some scenarios. The Federal Court agrees with this assessment. The complainant was unable to refute the prejudicial nature or demonstrate that the suspension clearly violates the principle of acceleration or other constitutional rights. The Federal Court rejects all objections against the suspension, as they are not based on arbitrariness. In particular, the court sees no violation of constitutional rights in the balancing of interests and the discretionary considerations of the lower court.
Summary of the Disposition
The complaint was dismissed, and the court costs were imposed on the complainant.
7B_431/2025: Non-admission of a Complaint in Criminal Matters and a Subsidiary Constitutional Complaint
Summary of the Facts
The complainant A.________ had submitted a request for disqualification against the competent public prosecutor in the cantonal proceedings. This was dismissed by the III Criminal Chamber of the High Court of the Canton of Zurich due to lack of jurisdiction. The subsequently filed appeal was not admitted by the II Criminal Chamber of the High Court of the Canton of Zurich due to the inadmissibility of the legal remedy.
Summary of the Considerations
- **E.1:** The Federal Court found that the only issue to examine here is whether the II Criminal Chamber of the High Court rightly did not admit the appeal. - **E.3:** The requests for relief from the complainant aimed at a renewed assessment of the disqualification request were outside the subject matter of the dispute and declared inadmissible. - **E.4:** Allegations by the complainant regarding undocumented agreements between judges and the renewed raising of already decided legal questions were qualified as querulous and thus inadmissible. - **E.5:** The Federal Court ruled that both the complaint in criminal matters and the subsidiary constitutional complaint are inadmissible.
Summary of the Disposition
The Federal Court did not admit the complaint and the constitutional complaint and imposed costs.
9C_87/2025: Judgment on Property Gains Tax in the Canton of Zurich
Summary of the Facts
The case centers on the tax-neutral transfer of a real estate portfolio of the respondent A.________ from a sole proprietorship to a corporation. The municipality of U.________ refused to defer the property gains tax on the grounds of tax evasion. After the Federal Court had already dealt with the case in a previous legal proceeding, the current procedure involved a renewed discussion about the qualification of the properties as business assets, the question of self-employment, and potential tax evasion.
Summary of the Considerations
- **E.1:** The complaint was submitted in due time and form. The municipality is entitled to file a complaint. - **E.2:** It was already clarified in the first legal proceeding that the properties transferred from the sole proprietorship to the corporation are to be qualified as business assets. - **E.3:** The existence of self-employment was argued. However, the Federal Court stated that the criteria for a business (including professional management and entrepreneurial activity) are met and that a review of self-employment is not necessary again. - **E.4:** The lower court denied the existence of tax evasion. The Federal Court stated that the restructuring complies with legal rules and that the economic reasons (especially estate planning) are comprehensible. Therefore, tax evasion is not recognizable.
Summary of the Disposition
The complaint was dismissed, and the court costs were imposed on the municipality, which also has to pay a party compensation.
