6B_688/2024: Judgment on the accusation of negligent homicide in connection with a ski facility
Summary of the Facts
The Federal Court decided on an appeal by A.________, who had been convicted of negligent homicide in connection with a ski accident in 2014 in two previous court rulings. The starting point was a fatal accident where C.C.________ collided with an inadequately marked safety cord in the area of a ski lift and died due to 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 signposted safety zone.
Summary of the Considerations
The Federal Court is not a court of appeals and only reviews the findings of the lower court in terms of violations of the law or arbitrary findings of fact according to Art. 97 para. 1 and Art. 105 para. 2 BGG. The appellant argues that the lower court acted arbitrarily in several respects and violated the principle in dubio pro reo, particularly concerning the wearing of contact lenses by the deceased C.C.________ and the visibility of the safety cord. The Federal Court upholds the comprehensible evaluation of evidence by the lower court, which found that C.C.________ could not recognize the safety cord in time due to the lack of warning signals and her position. In assessing the negligent homicide according to Art. 117 StGB, the court confirms the breach of duty, as A.________ had not sufficiently controlled the securing of the danger zone, despite this being 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 absence of a specific duty list would nullify the appellant's duty of care. It finds that A.________ was demonstrably responsible for the safety measures and their control. The application of Art. 53 StGB is denied, as the compensation was fully borne by the employer B.________ SA, with no personal involvement of the appellant. A violation of the requirement for procedural acceleration is limited solely to the appeal phase. The already granted reduction of the sentence by 80% was deemed sufficient, and a complete exemption from punishment was rejected.
Summary of the Dispositive
The dispositive includes the dismissal of the appeal and the imposition of court costs on the appellant. Furthermore, the judgment is communicated to the parties and the lower court.
5D_54/2024: Inadmissibility of the appeal
Summary of the Facts
The appellant has been in dispute for years with the opposing party, a condominium owners' association, and habitually contests all decisions and judgments. In this case, she was ordered by the District Court of Zurich to pay CHF 15,000 to the condominium owners' association for legal costs. Her appeal to the Court of Appeal of the Canton of Zurich was dismissed, to the extent that it was admitted. With a subsidiary constitutional appeal before the Federal Court, she requested, among other things, a 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 controversy below CHF 30,000, which is why the subsidiary constitutional appeal according to Art. 113 BGG applies. - **E.2:** With the constitutional appeal, only violations of constitutional rights can be alleged (Art. 116 BGG). The strict principle of complaint applies, meaning the appellant should have clearly and detailed 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 Appeal. - **E.4:** The appeal mainly consists of general and appellatory statements that do not substantiate any specific constitutional grievances. Her claims regarding the non-existence of the condominium owners' association and its value in controversy were neither detailed nor suitable to demonstrate constitutional violations. Furthermore, the Court of Appeal found the legitimacy and representation of the opposing party to be in proper order. - **E.5:** The appeal is obviously inadequately substantiated and therefore inadmissible. The President of the Federal Court decides in the simplified procedure (Art. 108 para. 1 lit. b BGG).
Summary of the Dispositive
The Federal Court did not consider the appeal and imposed the court costs on the appellant.
6B_414/2024: Judgment on the revision of a judgment due to a severe lack 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 Foreign Nationals and Integration Act. She was sentenced to a prison term of 36 months (of which 12 months were mandatory) and 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 severe lack of will associated with human trafficking and mental disorders. The cantonal court rejected the revision requests as inadmissible; against this, A.________ filed an appeal before the Federal Court.
Summary of the Considerations
The appeal is only admissible regarding the annulment of the cantonal judgment and the referral back to the cantonal instance, as the admissibility of the revision request constitutes the subject matter of the dispute. The statements of the appellant about a severe lack of will and her status as a victim of human trafficking, based on Art. 4 and 6 ECHR, were only inadequately examined by the cantonal court. It ignored relevant evidence and did not consider the international case law of the European courts. The cantonal legal instance rejected the relevant evidence (such as certificates and witness statements) and referred to provisions on revision that were not applicable. This constitutes a violation of Art. 412 StPO. The cantonal instance should have proceeded to the second phase of the revision procedure to conduct a thorough assessment of the points contested due to lack of will. The cantonal instance did not sufficiently investigate the alleged circumstance of human trafficking and disregarded the possible mental disorders of the appellant. The Federal Court criticizes the cantonal instance and orders a new, in-depth examination of the lack of will.
Summary of the Dispositive
The Federal Court upheld the appeal and annulled the previous judgment, ordering the referral back to the cantonal court. Furthermore, no court costs were imposed, and the legal fees had to be borne by the Canton of Vaud.

The Cantonal Court of Lucerne dismissed the subsequent administrative court appeal. The appellants then filed an appeal 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.
