8C_279/2025: Dismissal of the Appeal Regarding the Awarding of Child’s Pension
Summary of the Facts
A.________, father of a child born in 2011, received a full disability pension retroactively from July 1, 2022, the amount of which was transferred to the Hospice général. In addition, a retroactive disability child pension was set for the common son, with the main amount paid to the mother, B.________. The parents live separately but share joint parental custody. A.________ applied for the retroactive child pension and future monthly contributions to be paid directly to him but failed before the lower court.
Summary of the Considerations
The appeal is admissible as all formal requirements for an appeal procedure are met. The dispute concerns to whom the child’s pension is to be paid. Entitlement to the child’s pension is determined according to Art. 35 para. 4 LAI and Art. 71ter RAVS by the residence and care by the entitled person. In case of separation, priority is given to the parent providing care. A.________ could not provide substantiated evidence of his own maintenance payments for the period of the child’s stay in a home. Conversely, the mother bore crucial costs. The child’s pension primarily serves the actual maintenance of the child, which is the case here. The appeal is unfounded in all respects.
Summary of the Dispositive
The appeal was dismissed, court costs were imposed on A.________, and he was ordered to pay party compensation to B.________.
5A_869/2025: Determination of Child Support
Summary of the Facts
The parents of A.________, born in 2021, are unmarried and separated between December 2021 and January 2022. The mother, B.________, filed a lawsuit for child support determination and parental rights against the father, C.________.
Summary of the Considerations
The appeal was filed in due form and time; the requirements under the Federal Supreme Court Act (FSC) are fulfilled. The Federal Supreme Court examines the application of the law ex officio but is bound by the arguments presented and the facts established by the lower court, unless they are obviously untenable. The appellant alleges non-consideration of nanny care costs and the amount of maintenance contributions. The lower court decided that care by the daycare and the father is sufficient. Nanny care costs were rightly denied due to lack of necessity. The lower court considered school costs (lunch and afternoon care) and set maintenance contributions age-appropriately in different stages. The appellant’s arguments were insufficient to change the findings. The Federal Supreme Court concluded the appeal is unfounded. The granted maintenance arrangements are appropriate.
Summary of the Dispositive
The father’s appeal was dismissed and court costs imposed. The application for legal aid was denied.
4A_305/2025: Judgment on the Legal Opening Procedure and Financial Sanctions under the Ukraine Regulation
Summary of the Facts
The applicant A.________ traded diamonds and other minerals worldwide. She sued the respondent for CHF 368,207.06 based on an arbitration award. The Aargau Cantonal Court rejected her application for definitive legal opening because the claim had lapsed due to legal impossibility under the Ukraine Regulation.
Summary of the Considerations
The Federal Supreme Court has jurisdiction and reviews freely whether the appellant brings an appeal. The court interprets the law ex officio; it requires parties to precisely assert any legal violations. According to Art. 15 para. 2 of the Ukraine Regulation, payments to sanctioned persons are prohibited. This provision constitutes a statutory deferral pursuant to Art. 81 para. 1 DEBA. The lower court correctly considered the legal restrictions and lawfully refused legal opening. The allegation of bias against the lower court was dismissed. Similarity of reasoning to another case does not establish bias. The lower court rightly refused legal opening.
Summary of the Dispositive
The appeal was dismissed and court costs and party compensations were imposed.

An appeal against this was dismissed by the Graubünden Cantonal Court on February 24, 2026. The appellant then appealed to the Federal Supreme Court.
