5A_406/2026: Non-admission of the appeal concerning bankruptcy warnings
Summary of the facts
The appellant, A.________ Sàrl, challenged two issued bankruptcy warnings by the Debt Enforcement and Bankruptcy Office of Porrentruy. Her appeal was rejected by the lower court, the Debt Enforcement and Bankruptcy Court of the Cantonal Court of the Canton of Jura, on 21.04.2026 in the matter. The Federal Supreme Court examines the admissibility of her appeal against this decision due to missed deadline.
Summary of the considerations
The appeal was classified as an appeal in civil matters pursuant to Art. 72 para. 2 lit. a BGG. According to Art. 100 para. 2 lit. a BGG, the appeal period is 10 days in matters of debt enforcement and bankruptcy law. The contested decision was served to the appellant on 24.04.2026; thus, the appeal period began to run on the following day (25.04.2026) pursuant to Art. 44 para. 1 BGG and ended on 04.05.2026. The appeal was posted on 10.05.2026 and is therefore obviously late. Compliance with the deadline is a prerequisite for admissibility, so the appeal is declared inadmissible under the simplified procedure pursuant to Art. 108 para. 1 lit. a BGG. The requested suspension becomes moot.
Summary of the dispositive
The appeal was declared inadmissible, and the court costs were imposed on the appellant.
5A_284/2026: Non-admission of the appeal concerning seizures
Summary of the facts
The appellant lodged an appeal with the District Court of Dietikon against seizures, which was dismissed. He then filed an appeal with the High Court of the Canton of Zurich, which also dismissed it insofar as it admitted the appeal. Against this decision, the appellant filed an appeal with the Federal Supreme Court.
Summary of the considerations
- E.1: The appellant criticized the last seizure and was unsuccessful in the lower instance proceedings. He also requested in a parallel procedure the review of another decision.
- E.2: The appeal to the Federal Supreme Court was insufficiently reasoned. According to the requirements of Art. 42 para. 2 BGG, a targeted engagement with the decisive considerations of the lower court would have been necessary.
- E.3: The High Court found that the appeal at the District Court was insufficiently reasoned, motions under the prohibition of novelties (Art. 326 ZPO) failed, and repeated objections had already been assessed and rejected multiple times. The lower court sanctioned the appellant for abusive conduct by imposing costs and a fine.
- E.4: The appellant's allegations regarding the shortness of the appeal period, the signature regulation, and allegedly irrelevant motives in the lower court's decision are insufficiently reasoned, arbitrary, and irrelevant.
- E.5: The Federal Supreme Court considers the appeal obviously unfounded and does not admit it under the simplified procedure (Art. 108 para. 1 lit. b BGG).
Summary of the dispositive
The Federal Supreme Court did not admit the appeal and imposed court costs of CHF 1,000 on the appellant.
1C_711/2024: Non-admission of the appeal concerning protective zone regulation of groundwater abstraction
Summary of the facts
The municipality of Hallau (EG Hallau) approved a protective zone regulation to protect the groundwater at the Wunderklingen abstraction. A.________, lessee of an affected property, filed an appeal against it, requesting among other things the repeal or adjustment of certain provisions. The Government Council of the Canton of Schaffhausen and the High Court of the Canton of Schaffhausen dismissed A.________'s appeals at the cantonal instances. A.________ then brought the case to the Federal Supreme Court.
Summary of the considerations
The appeal in public-law matters is admissible. A.________ has a protected interest. The Federal Supreme Court examines the asserted legal violations considering the applicable scope of review (arbitrariness, fundamental rights, etc.). The excluded protective zone S2 is lawful. Despite lack of jurisdiction over German territory, the protection planning meets the requirements of the Water Protection Ordinance (GSchV). Burdens on the groundwater abstraction by German agriculture are at most minor. The property guarantee (Art. 26 BV) is not disproportionately violated. The substantive justification of the protective zone regulation is given, and the restrictions serve a legitimate public interest. The prohibition of area-wide irrigation is lawful and proportionate. The protection against microbiological contamination of the groundwater abstraction justifies the restriction. Controlled irrigation could be examined in a separate exceptional procedure but is not subject of the current procedure. The lower court violated the appellant's right to be heard by not serving the cost note of EG Hallau. The party compensation to EG Hallau does not contradict cantonal law. The municipality is entitled due to its size and dependence on external legal advice.
Summary of the dispositive
The appeal is partially granted. Part of the lower court's decision is revoked and remanded to the lower court for re-assessment, while the other claims are dismissed.
6B_534/2025: Non-admission of the appeal concerning fraud and violation of the Narcotics Act

This included concealing income during receipt of unemployment benefits, handling large cash sums, as well as possession of significant amounts of cannabis products, some containing THC. The Geneva Court of Appeal confirmed the first-instance judgment, after which the appellant filed an appeal with the Federal Supreme Court.

5A_57/2025: Non-admission of the appeal concerning reduction of maintenance payments
Summary of the facts
A divorced husband requested a reduction of post-divorce maintenance payments to his ex-wife on the grounds that she lived in a qualified cohabitation, which had significantly improved her financial situation. The lower court recognized the existence of a qualified cohabitation and adjusted the maintenance payment accordingly. The ex-wife appealed against this decision. The Federal Supreme Court in a prior remand decision annulled the recognition of the qualified cohabitation as an excessive abuse of discretion but held that the improvement of the ex-wife's financial situation since the divorce judgment constitutes a change worthy of review.
