9C_499/2026: Non-admission of the appeal concerning the referral decision on helplessness allowance
Summary of the facts
The disability insurance office of the canton of Vaud rejected the application by A.________ for a helplessness allowance. The cantonal court upheld the appeal filed against this, annulled the decision and referred the matter back to the disability insurance office for supplementary clarification and a new decision. A.________ appealed this referral decision to the Federal Supreme Court.
Summary of the considerations
(E.4.1) The cantonal court's referral decision is an interlocutory decision pursuant to Art. 93 BGG. An appeal is admissible in particular if the decision can cause an irremediable legal disadvantage; in the case of evidentiary orders, this is generally not the case. The party filing the appeal must demonstrate the requirements. (E.4.2) The appellant argued that the materially decisive questions, in particular the need for assistance in everyday activities as well as the evidentiary value of the expert report and the home investigation, had been finally assessed. (E.4.3) The Federal Supreme Court denied that there was an irremediable legal disadvantage. After the issuance of the new decision, the appellant can challenge all still disputed points anew. The case law relied upon by her concerns other procedural constellations or leaves the question of irreparable disadvantage open. (E.4.4) The appellant does not prove that the requirement of Art. 93 para. 1 lit. a BGG is met. (E.5) The appeal is to be declared inadmissible in the simplified procedure according to Art. 108 para. 1 lit. a BGG. (E.6) Due to the circumstances, no court costs shall be charged.
Summary of the dispositive
The appeal is not admitted. No court costs are charged.
4A_393/2026: Non-admission of the appeal concerning definitive legal opening
Summary of the facts
The previous instance declared the Reclamo filed by A.________ against a decision of the Pretore of the Mendrisio North jurisdiction concerning definitive legal opening as inadmissible. A.________ lodged an appeal against this with the Federal Supreme Court but did not pay the required advance on costs of CHF 800 despite reminders and an extension of the deadline.
Summary of the considerations
The Federal Supreme Court found that the appellant had not paid the advance on costs despite reminders and extension; service of the uncollected decisions was deemed effected pursuant to Art. 44 para. 2 BGG (E. 1). Under these circumstances, the Federal Supreme Court could not enter into the appeal (Art. 48 para. 4 and Art. 62 para. 3 BGG). The missing advance on costs did not constitute a written declaration of withdrawal (E. 2). The manifestly inadmissible appeal was disposed of in the simplified procedure by the president of the chamber (Art. 108 para. 1 lit. a BGG), and the court costs were imposed on the losing appellant (Art. 66 para. 1 BGG) (E. 3).
Summary of the dispositive
The appeal is inadmissible. The court costs of CHF 500 are imposed on the appellant.
7B_906/2026: Non-admission of the appeal concerning non-admittance order and advance on costs
Summary of the facts
The cantonal appeals authority dismissed the appeal filed by A.________ against a non-admittance order by the public prosecutor. A.________ appealed this decision to the Federal Supreme Court but did not pay the requested advance on costs even within the grace period.
Summary of the considerations
(E.1.1) According to Art. 62 BGG, the party invoking the Federal Supreme Court must pay the presumed advance on costs. If the advance is not paid even within the grace period set after an initial non-payment, the appeal is inadmissible. (E.1.2) The appellant was requested to pay an advance on costs of 800 francs and subsequently, within a non-extendable grace period, was reminded and warned of the consequences of default. Since he did not pay the advance on costs in due time, the appeal is manifestly inadmissible and to be dismissed in the simplified procedure pursuant to Art. 108 para. 1 lit. a BGG. (E.2) The losing appellant bears the court costs, which are set at 500 francs taking into account the instruction measures carried out so far.
