7B_841/2026: Non-admission of the appeal regarding the non-committal order
Summary of the facts
The Federal Supreme Court dealt with an appeal by A.________ Sàrl against a decision of the Chamber for Criminal Appeals of the Cantonal Court of Geneva. This chamber had rejected the appeal by A.________ Sàrl against a non-committal order issued by the Public Prosecutor’s Office of the Canton of Geneva.
Summary of the considerations
The Federal Supreme Court examines ex officio its jurisdiction as well as the admissibility of the appeal. According to Art. 81 para. 1 lit. a and b no. 5 BGG, the appellant party may file an appeal if the contested decision could have effects on civil law claims. The appellant must clarify which specific civil law claims it intends to assert in connection with the alleged criminal offense. The appellant alleges economic damage due to an entry in the debt collection register, which impaired participation in tenders. However, the alleged damage arises only indirectly from the reported act of coercion and is insufficient to establish her standing to appeal. Furthermore, the appellant has not asserted any other claims or violations of rights that would legitimize her appeal. As the appeal is obviously inadmissible, it is declared inadmissible in summary proceedings pursuant to Art. 108 para. 1 lit. a BGG.
Summary of the ruling
The Federal Supreme Court declared the appeal inadmissible and imposed court costs on the appellant party. The judgment was served to the parties involved.
7B_613/2026: Non-admission of the appeal regarding classification of the objection
Summary of the facts
A.________ filed an appeal on May 13, 2026, against a judgment of the Criminal Chamber of the Cantonal Court of Fribourg dated May 4, 2026. In that judgment, her appeal against the classification of her belatedly filed objection against a penal order of September 10, 2025, as inadmissible was rejected. The lower court remanded the matter to the Public Prosecutor’s Office of the Canton of Fribourg for assessment of the request for restoration of the deadline.
Summary of the considerations
(1) According to Art. 62 BGG, the filing of an appeal with the Federal Supreme Court requires an advance payment of costs. Despite repeated requests, an extension of the deadline, and a publication in the Feuille fédérale, A.________ did not pay the required advance of CHF 800. Moreover, no request for legal aid was made. Under the simplified procedure pursuant to Art. 108 para. 1 lit. a BGG, the appeal must therefore be treated as obviously inadmissible. (2) Exceptionally, no court costs are imposed (Art. 66 para. 1 sentence 2 BGG).
Summary of the ruling
The appeal is declared inadmissible and no court costs are imposed. The judgment is served to the parties.
2C_557/2025: Acceptance of the appeal concerning recognition of foreign diplomas in the field of osteopathy
Summary of the facts
The appellant A.________, an osteopath practicing in Switzerland, applied for recognition of his foreign educational qualifications (a "Diploma in Osteopathy" from the International Academy of Osteopathy [Belgium] and a "Master of Science Osteopathy" from Buckinghamshire New University [United Kingdom]) as equivalent to the Swiss Master of Science in Osteopathy FH. The Swiss Red Cross (SRC) denied recognition, after which the Federal Administrative Court dismissed the appeal. The appellant brought the decision before the Federal Supreme Court.
Summary of the considerations
- E.1: The Federal Supreme Court finds that the appeal in public law matters is admissible as it concerns a decision of the Federal Administrative Court in a public law matter. - E.2: The court confirms that the legal bases in the GesBG relating to the requirements for recognition of foreign educational qualifications are detailed. The SRC is responsible for recognition. - E.3: The profession of osteopath is regulated in Switzerland, and recognition of qualifications is carried out according to the provisions of the GesBG or international treaties. - E.4: For the Belgian qualification ("Diploma in Osteopathy" from the IAO), the SRC should have conducted a subsidiary equivalence assessment. This assessment was omitted. - E.5: For the "Master of Science Osteopathy" obtained in the United Kingdom, proof of professional authorization in the home country (UK) was not provided, so Art. 13 para. 1 of Directive 2005/36/EC does not apply. However, the Federal Supreme Court points out that a substantive equivalence assessment according to Art. 10 para. 1 lit. b GesBG should also have been conducted. - E.6: The SRC also failed to examine possible compensatory measures under Art. 7 GesBAV.
Summary of the ruling
The appeal is upheld, the judgment of the lower court is overturned, and the case is remanded to the SRC for reconsideration.
5A_773/2026: Non-admission of the appeal regarding restoration of the objection deadline
