8C_742/2025: Non-admission of the appeal concerning provisional measures
Summary of Facts
The appellant A.________ had applied for the granting of provisional measures in the context of proceedings against an objection decision of the Swiss National Accident Insurance Fund (CNA) dated 9 September 2025 before the lower court (Cantonal Court of Neuchâtel). The lower court dismissed this application by decision of 7 November 2025. A.________ then filed an appeal with the Federal Supreme Court, combined with a request for legal aid. The Federal Supreme Court rejected this request by order of 25 March 2026 after finding the appeal to be without prospect of success. The appellant did not pay the required advance on costs of CHF 800 despite an extension granted.
Summary of Considerations
- E.1: The Federal Supreme Court found that the appellant had neither paid the advance on costs within the deadline nor within the granted extension, nor provided a certificate that the amount had been transferred before the expiry of the deadline. - E.2: According to Art. 62 para. 3 FPC, an appeal is inadmissible if the advance on costs is not paid within the deadline set by the instructing judge and the granted extension. - E.3: The declaration of inadmissibility of the appeal falls under the jurisdiction of the single judge pursuant to Art. 108 para. 1 lit. a and para. 2 FPC. - E.4: Considering the circumstances, the Federal Supreme Court waives the collection of court costs pursuant to Art. 66 para. 1 sentence 2 FPC.
Summary of Dispositive
The appeal is declared inadmissible and no court costs are imposed.
4A_517/2025: Non-admission of the appeal concerning the application of an agreement on financial compensation payments
Summary of Facts
A.________ SA and B.________ SA disputed the application of an agreement regarding financial compensation payments, which was based on a simple partnership under the Swiss Code of Obligations (CO). The dispute concerned whether losses from previous business years should be taken into account when calculating compensation payments.
Summary of Considerations
- E.1: The Federal Supreme Court finds the formal admissibility of the appeal. - E.2: The court points out that it applies the law ex officio and explains the requirements for the statement of grounds of the appeal. Requests for evidence and assertions that are not sufficiently substantiated are inadmissible. - E.3: The Federal Supreme Court confirms the lower court's view that the interpretation of the agreement did not provide for consideration of losses from previous years. The appellant's claim that the losses must be taken into account is rejected as belated and unfounded. - E.4: The court concludes that neither the result of the lower court's evaluation of evidence nor the application of the law needs to be corrected.
Summary of Dispositive
The appeal was dismissed, and the court costs and party compensation were imposed on the appellant.
2C_199/2026: Non-admission of the appeal concerning the awarding of construction works
Summary of Facts
The subject matter of the proceedings is the awarding of construction works for the expansion of the vocational school Ziegelbrücke by the Department of Construction and Environment of the Canton of Glarus in an open procedure. The awarding authority had granted the contract to B.________ AG. The losing party, A.________ AG, challenged this decision before the Administrative Court of the Canton of Glarus and requested suspensive effect, which was denied. Subsequently, A.________ AG filed an appeal in public law matters as well as a subsidiary constitutional complaint with the Federal Supreme Court.
Summary of Considerations
The Federal Supreme Court first examines the prerequisites for admissibility. An appeal in public law matters in the field of public procurement is only admissible if there is a legal question of fundamental importance pursuant to Art. 83 lit. f no. 1 FPC. The present case does not meet this requirement. The legal questions raised concern individual case constellations which do not clarify the general principles of interpreting tender documents and the concept of arbitrariness in a new or fundamental way. Regarding the subsidiary constitutional complaint, it is admitted if a violation of constitutional rights is sufficiently substantiated. Concerning the complaints about violations of Art. 9 BV (arbitrariness) and Art. 8 BV (equal treatment), the Federal Supreme Court finds no violation and holds that the lower court made no unacceptable assessment when denying suspensive effect. The summary examination of the lower court, according to which the appeal by A.________ AG was obviously unfounded, is confirmed.
Summary of Dispositive
The Federal Supreme Court did not enter into the appeal in public law matters and dismissed the subsidiary constitutional complaint, imposing court costs on the appellant and not granting party compensation.
