7B_636/2026: Non-admission of the appeal concerning restoration of the appeal deadline
Summary of the Facts
The appellant A.________ filed an appeal against the decision of the Superior Court of the Canton of Zurich, which had rejected her request for restoration of the appeal deadline. This decision followed the lower court’s non-admission of the appeal due to a missing written statement of appeal pursuant to Art. 399 para. 3 CCP. The accused argued, among other things, with incorrect service of the first-instance judgment and health problems of her son.
Summary of the Considerations
The Federal Supreme Court summarizes the procedural history: The Superior Court originally did not admit the appeal due to a missing statement of appeal. A first Federal Supreme Court judgment (6B_5/2026) referred the submission back to the Superior Court for consideration, which ultimately rejected the request for restoration of the deadline. The appeal is written in French, but the decision is issued in German due to the language of the contested ruling (Art. 54 para. 1 FPC). Requirements for an appeal submission (Art. 42 paras. 1 and 2 FPC): The appellant should have explained how the contested decision violated the right to be heard or other rights. The submission does not meet these requirements. The appellant neither addresses the considerations on service nor the rejection of her health objection. Due to the lack of a valid reason, the appeal is not admitted (Art. 108 para. 1 lit. b FPC).
Summary of the Ruling
The appeal was dismissed, and the court costs were imposed on the appellant.
6B_95/2026: Federal Supreme Court Judgment 6B_95/2026: Conviction for multiple sexual acts with a child
Summary of the Facts
A.________ is accused of having committed multiple sexual acts with his half-sister B.________, aged 13 to 14, from late summer 2020 to December 2021, including kissing, touching of the genitals, manual and oral gratification, and anal penetration. The Criminal Court of the Canton of Zug sentenced A.________ on April 10, 2025, to 34 months imprisonment, of which 22 months were conditional, and to a conditional fine of 180 daily rates of 30 Swiss francs each. Additionally, an eight-year expulsion from the country and a lifelong professional ban were imposed, and B.________ was awarded compensation of 5,000 Swiss francs. On appeal, the Superior Court confirmed the conviction on December 16, 2025, increased the prison sentence to 36 months (24 months conditional), upheld the fine and professional ban, increased the expulsion to ten years, and the compensation to 16,000 Swiss francs. Further civil claims were dismissed. A.________ filed an appeal with the Federal Supreme Court, requesting acquittal or remittance for reappraisal. The Federal Supreme Court also rejected an application for legal aid.
Summary of the Considerations
1. (Section 1) Regarding the evaluation of the submission, the Federal Supreme Court explains the conditions for admissibility and merit under Art. 42, Art. 95, Art. 97, and Art. 106 FPC including the requirements for a complaint of arbitrariness and the assessment of evidence. Decisions are arbitrary if they are untenable or clearly contradict the factual situation. 2. (Section 2) On the alleged violation of the right to competent defense and the request for replacement of the appointed counsel, the Federal Supreme Court examines the conditions under Art. 134 para. 2 CCP and case law related to changing appointed counsel. It finds that the perceived disturbed trust relationship was not sufficiently supported by concrete indications and that the request was made only a few days before the appeal hearing. The lower court rightly emphasized the principle of acceleration and the protection of the victim’s personality rights and rejected the request for counsel change. There is no serious breach of duty by the defense; the defense was effective. 3. (Section 3) The appeal regarding violation of the prohibition of deterioration and lack of participation in sentencing is also dismissed. The appellant was validly summoned, and presence at the appeal hearing would have allowed influence. The public prosecutor had a legitimate protective interest in maintaining the increased sentence. The lower court was entitled to follow the prosecution’s supplementary appeal. The complaints are dismissed as unfounded. 4. (Section 4) The costs of the appeal proceedings are imposed on the appellant. The appeal is dismissed in all points.
Summary of the Ruling
The appeal is dismissed, the appellant bears the court costs, and the judgment of the Superior Court remains in force.
1C_306/2025: Non-admission of the appeal concerning the 30 km/h order on Schiedhaldenstrasse
Summary of the Facts
The Civil Engineering Office of the Canton of Zurich plans to refurbish a section of Schiedhaldenstrasse in Küsnacht, including a reduction of the maximum speed limit to 30 km/h to reduce noise. The Zurich Cantonal Police ordered a 30 km/h speed limit for this section on August 2, 2023. Several natural and legal persons lodged complaints against the traffic order. The Zurich Administrative Court dismissed the complaints, insofar as it admitted them. An appeal in public law matters was filed with the Federal Supreme Court.
Summary of the Considerations
1. The Federal Supreme Court declares the appeal admissible (Art. 82 lit. a, 86 para. 1 lit. d and Art. 90 FPC). The alleged violation of the procedural guarantee of double instance review under Art. 77 para. 1 of the Zurich Cantonal Constitution (KV/ZH) is unfounded, as the need for coordination between the 30 km/h order and the road project justifies an exception (E.3.3-3.8). 2. The assessment of the noise expert report and the traffic expert reports by the Administrative Court is confirmed. The 30 km/h limit and the installation of a low-noise surface led to significant noise reductions without substantially impairing public transport services (E.4.1-4.3). 3. The complaints regarding the establishment of facts and proportionality review are considered unfounded by the Federal Supreme Court (E.4.3-4.4).
Summary of the Ruling
The appeal was dismissed, the court costs were imposed on the appellants, and they must compensate the co-parties.
