7B_956/2024: Dismissal of the Complaint Against the Closure Orders
Summary of the Facts
The complainant A.A., as the legal representative of her daughter B.A., filed a criminal complaint against C.C., E.C., and F.F. for assault, simple bodily injury, insult, and property damage, which resulted from an incident on January 13, 2023. Following hearings, corresponding criminal proceedings were initiated against C.C. and F.F. On March 4, 2024, the Juvenile Court of the Canton of Geneva ordered the discontinuation of the criminal proceedings against the accused. The complaint by A.A. against the closure orders was rejected by the cantonal complaints chamber on July 10, 2024. A.A. filed a complaint with the Federal Court.
Summary of the Considerations
The Federal Court examines its jurisdiction and the admissibility of the complaint. The complainant has a sufficient interest in contesting the decision, as the contested decision could affect civil claims. The Federal Court finds that the conditions for exemption from punishment according to Art. 21 para. 1 lit. b DPMin are met, as the guilt of the accused and the consequences of the act are to be assessed as minor. The cantonal instance correctly assessed the circumstances, such as the context of the incident, the behavior of the accused after the incident (remorse and apology), as well as the absence of further incidents. The complainant's complaint regarding the denial of free legal aid by the cantonal instance is unfounded, as there was no sufficient justification for this. Other legal violations were not sufficiently substantiated by the complainant.
Summary of the Dispositive
The complaint is dismissed, the request for free legal aid is denied, and court costs of 1,200 CHF are imposed.
2C_627/2025: Decision Regarding the Residence Permit
Summary of the Facts
A.________ and B.________, binational Russian-Georgian nationals, lived in Switzerland between 2020 and 2023 with a residence permit for studies. On January 29, 2024, they jointly applied for a residence permit for themselves and their two children at the cantonal office. The application was rejected, and an expulsion was ordered. Although a temporary work permit application was initially approved for A.________, it was ultimately denied. Their employment alone did not constitute sufficient integration. Appeals to the lower instance were unsuccessful.
Summary of the Considerations
According to Art. 83 lit. c no. 2 BGG, the appeal against denied residence permits is closed, unless there is a domestic or international legal claim. Neither Art. 30 para. 1 lit. b AIG nor Art. 31 VZAE grants such a right in their case. The complainants rely on the right to private and family life under Art. 8 ECHR and Art. 13 BV. The duration of residence of three years with a study permit is not considered as permanent residence according to established practice. There was no "exceptional integration" that could justify claims. The principle of the best interests of the child anchored in Art. 3 CRC does not grant an immediate legal claim to residence. No cited provisions grant the complainants a right to stay. The ordinary appeal route under BGG is inadmissible, which is why the matter remains limited to the subsidiary constitutional complaint. The subsidiary constitutional complaint requires a legally protected claim. Due to the absence of a protected legal position, the complaint is also inadmissible in this regard. The allegation of formal legal violations (e.g., arbitrariness or protection of legitimate expectations under Art. 9 BV) was only made in the factual context and was not sufficiently substantiated. Result: Irrelevance of the requests and cost liability of the complainants.
Summary of the Dispositive
The complaint is dismissed, the procedural costs are imposed on the complainants, and no party compensation is granted.
1C_497/2025: Public Law Complaint Against Building Permit for Drinking Water Reservoirs
Summary of the Facts
The complainants filed a public law complaint against the issued building permit for two drinking water reservoirs on a site in Lugano. The affected property is located in a zone for public buildings (AP-EP) and was originally intended as a municipal storage facility. The complainants argue that the building permit and the underlying planning variant violate various legal norms, particularly regarding the integration into the landscape and the obligation to provide information during the planning process.
Summary of the Considerations
The complaint is generally admissible (E.1.1). Issues of party substitution do not need to be further examined since the complaint is anyway to be dismissed (E.1.2). The Federal Court limits itself to examining the violated federal legal norms and does not raise its own factual objections (E.2.1-2.2). The lower instance adequately examined the question of the integration of the buildings into the landscape and justified why it assumes an orderly and harmonious integration of the drinking water reservoirs. The non-consideration of a technical statement by the complainants does not violate the right to be heard (E.3.1-3.3). The Federal Court confirms the case law that a separate personal notice to adjacent property owners is not required in the planning process, unless the established norms provide for this. The complainants should have raised objections during the planning phase, which, however, did not happen (E.4.1-4.3.4). The lower instance has correctly applied the planning elegance clause (Art. 104 LST). The aesthetic adjustments to the project (e.g., greening, rounded edges) were duly taken into account and reduce the visual impairment. There is no exceptional case in which the zoning regulations would need to be overridden for reasons of landscape protection (E.5.1-5.3.6). The alleged traffic impacts are not the subject of the disputed building permit. Possible issues could be addressed through separate traffic regulations (E.5.5).
Summary of the Dispositive
The complaint is dismissed on the merits, and the complainants are imposed court costs.
2C_617/2025: Inadmissibility of the Complaint Against the Refusal of a Residence Permit for Self-Employment
