6B_688/2024: Judgment on the charge of negligent homicide in connection with a ski facility
Summary of the Facts
The Federal Court ruled on a complaint by A.________, who had been convicted in two previous court decisions of negligent homicide in connection with a skiing accident in 2014. The starting point was a fatal accident in which C.C.________ collided with an inadequately marked safety cordon in the area of a ski lift facility and died as a result of severe injuries. A.________, as the then "head of the slopes" and temporary substitute for the safety manager, was considered a guarantor for a properly secured and marked safety zone.
Summary of the Considerations
The Federal Court is not an appellate instance and only reviews the findings of the lower court in terms of violations of law or arbitrary factual determinations according to Art. 97 para. 1 and Art. 105 para. 2 BGG. The complainant argues that the lower court acted arbitrarily and violated the principle in dubio pro reo in several respects, particularly regarding the wearing of contact lenses by the deceased C.C.________ and the visibility of the safety cord. The Federal Court confirms the comprehensible assessment of evidence by the lower court, according to which C.C.________ could not recognize the safety cord in time due to the lack of warning signals and her position. In examining the negligent homicide according to Art. 117 StGB, the court confirms the breach of duty, since A.________ had not adequately controlled the securing of the danger zone, although it was his responsibility due to his position as "head of the slopes" and substitute for the safety manager. The Federal Court rejects the assertion that organizational ambiguities within B.________ SA or the lack of a specific duty specification would void the complainant's guarantor obligation. It finds that A.________ was demonstrably responsible for safety precautions and their control. The application of Art. 53 StGB is rejected, as the compensation was entirely borne by the employer B.________ SA, without the personal involvement of the complainant. A violation of the requirement for procedural acceleration is limited solely to the appeal phase. The reduction of the penalty by 80% granted by the lower court was deemed sufficient, and a complete exemption from punishment was rejected.
Summary of the Dispositive
The dispositive includes the rejection of the complaint and the imposition of court costs on the complainant. Furthermore, the judgment is communicated to the parties and the lower court.
5D_54/2024: Inadmissibility of the Complaint
Summary of the Facts
The complainant has been in dispute with the respondent, a condominium owners' association, for years and has notoriously contested all orders and judgments. In the present case, she was ordered by the District Court of Zurich to pay CHF 15,000 to the condominium owners' association for legal fees. Her appeal to the Court of Appeals of the Canton of Zurich was rejected, to the extent that it was considered. With a subsidiary constitutional complaint to the Federal Court, she demanded, among other things, the declaration of nullity and various other requests of a criminal nature.
Summary of the Considerations
- **E.1:** The judgment concerns a civil dispute with a value in dispute below CHF 30,000, which is why the subsidiary constitutional complaint according to Art. 113 BGG is applicable. - **E.2:** With the constitutional complaint, only violations of constitutional rights can be raised (Art. 116 BGG). The strict principle of objection applies, meaning the complainant should have clearly and in detail specified which rights were violated. - **E.3:** Criminal requests, requests for declarations without reference to the subject matter of the dispute, and requests concerning other judgments will not be considered. The subject of the proceedings is exclusively the judgment of the Court of Appeals. - **E.4:** The complaint consists mainly of general and appellatory statements that do not substantiate specific constitutional objections. Her allegations regarding the non-existence of the condominium owners' association and its value were neither detailed nor suitable to demonstrate constitutional violations. Additionally, the Court of Appeals considered the legitimacy and representation of the respondent to be proper. - **E.5:** The complaint is obviously inadequately substantiated and therefore inadmissible. The President of the Federal Court decides in a simplified procedure (Art. 108 para. 1 lit. b BGG).
Summary of the Dispositive
The Federal Court did not consider the complaint and imposed court costs on the complainant.
6B_414/2024: Judgment on the revision of a judgment due to a serious defect of will in an expedited procedure
Summary of the Facts
A.________ was convicted in 2021 by the Criminal Court of Lausanne in an expedited procedure for serious violations of the Narcotics Act and the Foreigners and Integration Act. She was sentenced to a prison term of 36 months (of which 12 months mandatory) and was expelled from Switzerland for 8 years. In 2024, she requested a revision of the judgment, claiming that her will to consent to the expedited procedure was impaired due to a serious defect of will related to human trafficking and mental disorders. The cantonal appellate authority declared the requests for revision inadmissible; against this, A.________ filed a complaint with the Federal Court.
Summary of the Considerations
The complaint is only admissible with regard to the annulment of the cantonal judgment and the referral back to the cantonal instance, since the admissibility of the request for revision constitutes the subject matter of the dispute. The statements of the complainant regarding a serious defect of will and her status as a victim of human trafficking, based on Art. 4 and 6 ECHR, were only insufficiently examined by the cantonal appellate authority. It ignored relevant evidence and did not consider the international jurisprudence of the European courts. The cantonal authority rejected relevant evidence (such as certificates and witness statements) and cited provisions on revision that were not applicable. This constitutes a violation of Art. 412 StPO. The cantonal authority should have proceeded to the second phase of the revision procedure in order to conduct a thorough evaluation of the points contested due to the defect of will. The cantonal authority did not adequately examine the alleged situation of human trafficking and disregarded the possible mental disorders of the complainant. The Federal Court criticizes the cantonal authority and orders a new, in-depth examination of the defect of will.
Summary of the Dispositive
The Federal Court upheld the complaint and overturned the previous judgment, ordering the referral back to the cantonal appellate authority. Furthermore, no court costs were imposed, and the legal costs were to be borne by the Canton of Vaud.

The Cantonal Court of Lucerne dismissed the subsequent administrative court complaint. The complainants then filed a complaint with the Federal Court, arguing in particular that the matter was of a private law nature and that the judgment of the lower courts was therefore null and void.
