8F_22/2025: Non-admission of the appeal regarding accident insurance benefits
Summary of the Facts
The applicant, A.________, filed a revision request to overturn the Federal Supreme Court judgment of August 26, 2025, and the lower court decisions. She requested, among other things, a pension at 100% disability degree, the exclusion of certain reports as evidence, and a new assessment regarding compensation for loss of integrity and causality of various complaints. The background is an accident and resulting complaints, which were partially rejected by the accident insurance. Previous proceedings before the Social Insurance Court of the Canton of Zurich and the Federal Supreme Court were conducted.
Summary of the Considerations
- E.1: A second exchange of written submissions is not indicated, as the obtaining of an opinion was waived (Art. 127 FPC). - E.2: Federal Supreme Court decisions become final and binding (Art. 61 FPC). A revision is only possible if revision grounds according to Art. 121 et seq. FPC are present and must be convincingly justified. - E.3: Judgment 8C_65/2025 excluded certain complaints as accident consequences and referred the matter back to AXA for reassessment on some points. - E.4: The revision request largely relies on objections that do not constitute revision grounds but rather demand a reconsideration of the previous judgment. - E.5: To the extent the revision request concerns aspects not yet definitively assessed, it is inadmissible. - E.6: The revision request on procedural violations is late. - E.7: The facts and evidence invoked are insufficient to meet the requirements of a revision ground under Art. 123 para. 2 lit. a FPC. Tape recordings and new medical reports are partly genuine, partly insufficiently proven novelties. Moreover, the applicant refers to aspects already assessed under previous judgments or that do not concern significant facts under Art. 123 FPC. - E.8: The request is evidently unfounded and must be rejected.
Summary of the Dispositive
The revision request is dismissed, and the court costs are imposed on the applicant.
8F_21/2025: Non-admission of the appeal regarding revision request for disability pension
Summary of the Facts
The applicant A.________ (born 1968) received a temporary full disability pension for the period from July 1, 2014, to March 31, 2017. The appeal she filed against this at the Federal Supreme Court was dismissed by its judgment 8C_241/2025 of August 26, 2025. By revision request of December 12, 2025, she applied for annulment of this judgment and the granting of an unlimited full disability pension from March 1, 2014. The request also included a motion for a second exchange of written submissions and a request for legal aid.
Summary of the Considerations
- E.1: No second exchange of written submissions necessary as no opinions were obtained and there is no entitlement thereto under Art. 127 FPC. - E.2: Federal Supreme Court decisions can generally only be reviewed based on the revision grounds exhaustively listed in Art. 121 et seq. FPC. Requests that are generally insufficiently reasoned or relate to irrelevant aspects lead to non-admission. - E.3: The subject matter of judgment 8C_241/2025 concerned only the claim to a disability pension until March 31, 2017. Aspects such as the applicant's health condition after July 15, 2021, or later operations and expert assessments could not constitute revision grounds under Art. 121 et seq. FPC. - E.4: Allegations of arbitrariness or asserted legal errors of the lower court in the previous proceedings, e.g., regarding the assessment of evidence, do not justify revision, as a renewed legal appraisal is not the aim of a revision proceeding. - E.5 & 6: Invocations of allegedly overlooked facts and evidence do not constitute revision because such requests are late under Art. 124 para. 1 lit. b FPC. - E.7: The asserted new facts and evidence, whose submission was discussed under Art. 123 para. 2 lit. a FPC (operation 2024, tape recordings 2025), do not meet the substantive requirements. In particular, some are genuine novelties expressly excluded from the revision grounds. - E.8: The revision request is considered evidently unfounded.
Summary of the Dispositive
The revision request was dismissed, and court costs were imposed on the applicant. The judgment was served to all parties involved.
7B_1130/2025: Non-admission of the appeal regarding recusal in criminal proceedings against a doctor for assisted suicide
Summary of the Facts
Dr. med. A.________ was accused of incorrectly assessing the judgment capacity of a person in connection with assisted suicide. After criminal proceedings against him and another person were discontinued by the Basel-Landschaft public prosecutor's office, the deceased's parents, as private plaintiffs, lodged an appeal. The Basel-Landschaft Cantonal Court upheld the appeal and remitted the case to the public prosecutor's office for reopening the criminal investigation. Dr. A.________ requested the Federal Supreme Court to overturn this decision and to reject various members of the Basel-Landschaft Cantonal Court for alleged bias.
Summary of the Considerations
- E.1: The Federal Supreme Court found that the order to continue the criminal investigation is an interlocutory decision. This is only appealable if it causes irreparable legal disadvantage. Such disadvantage exists here because otherwise a possible ground for recusal could no longer be asserted. - E.2: Regarding the allegation of bias, the Federal Supreme Court stated that, according to case law, a judge does not have to be actually biased; it is sufficient if the appearance of bias is objectively justified. However, the lower court, by ordering an expansion of evidence and subsequent indictment, did not pre-judge the question of guilt. Rather, it correctly applied the principle "in dubio pro duriore" without violating the court's independence or impartiality. - E.3: The appellant thus lost on his allegations, and the appeal was dismissed.
Summary of the Dispositive
The appeal was dismissed, and the court costs were imposed on the appellant. In addition, the plaintiffs received compensation of CHF 1,000, and the judgment was communicated to the parties in writing.
