7B_627/2026: Non-admission of the appeal concerning summons as a witness
Summary of the facts
The appellant A.________ filed an appeal against a decision of the appeals chamber of the Federal Criminal Court, by which she was to be heard as a witness. She requested instead to be summoned as an information person. Due to the interim conduct of the main hearing and a withdrawal of the summons by the appeals chamber, the appellant declared the appeal moot and withdrew it.
Summary of the considerations
- E.1: The appeal was directed against the summons of the appellant as a witness. By order of 18 May 2026, this summons was provisionally complied with. Since the main hearing has since taken place and the summons was lifted, the appellant decided to withdraw the appeal. - E.2: The mootness of the proceedings was established. - E.4.1: In cases of mootness, the Federal Supreme Court decides summarily on the cost consequences. - E.4.2: Since the probable outcome of the proceedings was not predictable, the cost decision was made according to the principle of causation. - E.4.3: The respondent 2 (Federal Criminal Court, appeals chamber) waived the hearing of the appellant and thus caused the proceedings. Since it acted within its official sphere of activity, no court costs were charged. The appellant receives compensation of CHF 1,500.– from the Federal Prosecutor's Office.
Summary of the dispositive
The appeal was dismissed as moot, no court costs were charged, and the appellant receives compensation of CHF 1,500.–.
9C_698/2025: Upholding of the appeal concerning helplessness compensation
Summary of the facts
The proceedings concern the granting of helplessness compensation by the cantonal Disability Insurance Office (IV) of the Canton of Vaud to A.________, who suffers from mental health problems. After a rejection of the requested benefit by the IV (decision of 29.03.2021) and a successful appeal before the cantonal court (decision of 05.11.2025), the Federal Supreme Court was called upon.
Summary of the considerations
The Federal Supreme Court examines the requirements for admissibility of an appeal in public law matters under Art. 82 ff. BGG and determines the applicable law according to the temporally relevant provisions. The dispute concerns whether the respondent is entitled to helplessness compensation, in particular whether a permanent need for accompaniment exists pursuant to Art. 38 IVV. The lower court did not sufficiently clarify the required accompanying services for the respondent, particularly regarding regular support by third parties and their time expenditure. Furthermore, important findings regarding the living and household situation were insufficiently considered. This constitutes an incomplete factual determination and a violation of Art. 38 IVV in connection with Art. 42 IVG. The IV is instructed to carry out a supplementary investigation, including an on-site household assessment, and to comprehensively examine potential support by family members and other relevant facts.
Summary of the dispositive
The appeal is upheld and the lower court decisions are overturned. The Disability Insurance is ordered to conduct a supplementary investigation. The court costs are imposed on the respondent.
1C_723/2025: Non-admission of the appeal concerning regulation of parking spaces
Summary of the facts
A.A.________ filed an appeal against a traffic decision of the municipality of Troinex concerning the regulation of parking spaces on Chemin de Lullin. The decision prohibited parking on one side of a specific road section. The measure was considered necessary to ensure the use of the road by various road users. The lower courts dismissed the appeal.
Summary of the considerations
- E.1: The Federal Supreme Court found that the last cantonal instance had decided in accordance with the law and that the legal remedy was therefore open. The appellant's standing was doubtful but ultimately irrelevant due to the outcome of the proceedings. - E.2: An allegation of violation of the right to be heard was examined and rejected, as the lower court addressed the relevant considerations and sufficiently motivated its decision. The appellant had the opportunity to present his arguments. - E.3: Another allegation that the right to be heard was violated because the lower court relied on data from the Geneva territorial information system (SITG) was also rejected. The data used were recognized as notorious and were not surprising in the proceedings. - E.4: It was established that the appellant did not raise any substantive objections against the lower court's decision and that no further legally relevant indications were present.
Summary of the dispositive
The appeal is dismissed, court costs are imposed, and no party compensation is awarded.
4A_341/2026: Non-admission of the appeal concerning legal enforcement
