5A_995/2025: Non-admission of the appeal concerning protocol correction in inheritance proceedings

Summary of the facts

The testatrix D.________ died in 2021 leaving two children, A.________ and C.________. The estate included among other things real estate in Switzerland and the USA as well as bank deposits exceeding CHF 2 million. A public settlement was concluded during an instruction hearing regulating the distribution of the estate. Dispute over the correctness of a passage in the minutes of this hearing led to a request for protocol correction by A.________ and B.________, which was rejected. The decision of the Zurich Cantonal Court regarding this correction request was appealed to the Federal Supreme Court.

Summary of the considerations

The appeal concerns an interim decision relating to a protocol correction request. According to Art. 93 para. 1 lit. a BGG, a challenge is only possible if an irreparable disadvantage of a legal nature is threatened. The appellants argued that the settlement was irreversible and the protocol correction was relevant in the ongoing revision proceedings. The Federal Supreme Court held that the appellants could raise the correctness of the protocol also in the revision proceedings themselves or challenge the interim decision with the final decision. Therefore, no irreparable disadvantage existed. The requirements for contestability of the interim decision under Art. 93 para. 1 lit. a BGG were thus not met.

Summary of the dispositive

The Federal Supreme Court did not admit the appeal and imposed court costs of CHF 3,000 on the appellants without awarding party compensation.


5A_219/2026: Non-admission of the appeal concerning neighbor law disputes

Summary of the facts

A.________ and B.________, co-owners of parcel no. 4220 in X.________, sued their neighbor C.________. She had made changes to her parcel no. 4101, including expanding the garage close to the common boundary. The plaintiffs demanded, among other things, the removal of an overhanging roof and the setback of the garage by 3–4 meters. The deputy judge of Locarno City partially upheld the claim and obliged C.________ to remove the roof. Subsequently, both parties appealed. The Ticino Court of Appeal additionally obliged C.________ to erect a privacy screen but dismissed the plaintiffs’ further claims.

Summary of the considerations

1. Admissibility of the legal remedy (E.1–1.2): The Federal Supreme Court examines the admissibility of the remedy ex officio. In this case, the dispute value of CHF 30,000 was not demonstrably reached pursuant to Art. 74 para. 1 lit. b BGG, as the appellants did not provide sufficient information on the change in value of the affected properties. Therefore, the appeal could not be treated as an appeal in civil matters. 2. Examination as a subsidiary constitutional complaint (E.2): Due to the lack of substantial justification of a violation of constitutional rights (Art. 116 BGG), the remedy was also inadmissible as a subsidiary constitutional complaint.

Summary of the dispositive

The appeal was declared inadmissible. In addition, the court costs were imposed on the appellants without awarding party compensation.


9C_178/2026: Non-admission of the appeal concerning tax corrections

Summary of the facts

The taxpayer, a sole proprietor in real estate and holder of several participations in the construction industry as well as other assets, was assessed by the cantonal tax administration of Valais for the tax periods 2013 to 2016 with various corrections made. Both the objection and the cantonal appeal level led to partial adjustments and confirmations of the tax corrections. The taxpayer finally lodged an appeal with the Federal Supreme Court.

Summary of the considerations

- E.1: The appeal is directed against a final decision and an earlier interim decision. The interim decision must be considered in connection with the present appeal. The admissibility requirements according to BGG are fulfilled. - E.2: The Federal Supreme Court applies federal law ex officio (Art. 106 para. 1 BGG) but examines cantonal law only for violations of federal law. The appellant must specifically allege and justify the violation of constitutional rights. - E.3: Regarding several complaints of the appellant, including those concerning vehicle costs and contributions to the sole proprietorship, the lower court did not admit them due to insufficient reasoning. The Federal Supreme Court confirms this non-admission decision. - E.4: Regarding rental income on a private account, benefits in kind, capital gains from art and vehicle sales as well as the valuation of a loan claim, the Federal Supreme Court finds that the appellant has neither presented sufficient evidence nor convincing legal arguments against the lower court’s conclusions. It confirms the assessments of the lower court.

Summary of the dispositive

The appeal is dismissed and court costs of CHF 4,000 are imposed on the appellant without party compensation.


2C_289/2026: Non-admission of the appeal concerning reopening of the proceedings

The State Secretariat for Migration (SEM) initially changed this date in the SYMIC system to 1 January 2006, then to 1 January 2007, with the note that the date was disputed. After two negative SEM decisions, the Federal Administrative Court (FAC) partially overturned these and demanded further clarification including a medico-legal expert opinion. The finding of this expertise indicated a minimum age of 17.57 years and a maximum age of 24 years but excluded birth on 25 December 2009. The FAC then considered the SEM data change lawful.

A.________ AG appealed to the Federal Supreme Court.


8C_727/2024: Partial upholding of the appeal concerning disability pension

Summary of the facts

A.________ (born 1969) originally applied for disability insurance benefits in 2013, which the IV office Solothurn denied.

5A_353/2026: Non-admission of the appeal concerning deadline setting for opposition lawsuit

Summary of the facts

The appellant contested the deadline set by the Winterthur-Stadt debt enforcement office for filing a lawsuit to assert her ownership rights on the pledged property. The lower court, the Zurich Cantonal Court (judgment dated 7 April 2026), partially upheld the appeal and ordered the enforcement office to reset the deadline. Against this judgment, the appellant lodged an appeal with the Federal Supreme Court. In parallel proceedings, it became known that bankruptcy proceedings had been opened against the debtor B.________ AG, rendering the enforcement on the mortgage lien moot.

The appellant A.________ (born 1970) received a disability pension from the Zurich IV office from July 2013, including child pensions for his three children. After separating from his wife in August 2017, the child pensions were paid directly to her. By rulings dated 22 January 2020, the IV office retroactively changed this arrangement for the period from July 2013 and assigned the back payment of child pensions to A.________. Subsequently, the IV office demanded repayment of amounts previously paid to the mother; the Zurich Social Insurance Court decided that she did not have to refund them.
