6B_638/2025: Choice of Type of Sanction in Case of Grossly Negligent Violation of Traffic Rules
Summary of Facts
A.________ exceeded the permissible speed limit of 50 km/h in an urban area by 51 km/h. The criminal court sentenced him to a conditional prison term of 14 months; the cantonal court imposed a conditional fine of 160 daily rates as an additional penalty due to grossly negligent violation of traffic rules. The public prosecutor's office demanded the annulment of this decision and the imposition of a prison sentence.
Summary of Considerations
(Para. 1) Although the appeal contains only a cassation request, it constitutes a sufficient legal request; it is to be admitted. (Para. 2.1–2.2.2) Art. 90 para. 3ter SVG is a discretionary provision that expands the penalty framework for non-recidivist offenders and allows the avoidance of unnecessary hardship cases without establishing a claim to a fine. (Para. 2.3) The conditions of Art. 90 para. 3ter SVG were met; the lower court was permitted to apply the provision as lex mitior. There is no violation of the principle of investigation or the right to be heard. (Para. 3.1–3.2) The choice of sanction type is governed by Art. 41 StGB and the principle of proportionality; fines are generally the main sanction in cases of minor and medium-level criminality. (Para. 3.3) The lower court substantiated its choice of conditional fine in a comprehensible manner and did not exceed its discretion. (Para. 4) The appeal is to be dismissed insofar as it is to be admitted; no court costs are imposed and no party compensation awarded.
Summary of Dispositive
The appeal is dismissed insofar as it is admitted. No court costs are imposed and no compensation awarded.
4A_573/2026: Non-admission of the Appeal Regarding the Lease Agreement and Interim Decision on the Dismissal of the Conciliation Proceedings
Summary of Facts
The vice president of the cantonal court lifted the suspension of the proceedings concerning the dismissal of the conciliation proceedings and ordered investigative measures. The appellant filed an appeal in civil matters against this and also requested suspensive effect and legal aid with official legal representation.
Summary of Considerations
(Para. 1) The contested decision lifted the suspension and ordered investigative measures; the appeal was handled after waiver of submissions. (Para. 2) The appeal was filed after the expiration of the statutory appeal period; the request for legal aid is therefore moot and, due to lack of further procedural actions, also moot. (Para. 3) This is an independently opened interim decision. The requirements of Art. 93 BGG are not fulfilled: a final decision could not be immediately obtained, and an irreparable disadvantage of a legal nature is not obvious. Legal aid was not decided in the contested decision. The appeal is therefore obviously inadmissible. (Para. 4) The request for legal aid is dismissed for lack of prospects insofar as it is not moot. The court costs are imposed on the appellant; no party compensation is awarded. The request for suspensive effect is moot.
Summary of Dispositive
The appeal is not admitted. Court costs of CHF 500 are imposed on the appellant; the request for legal aid is dismissed insofar as it is not moot.
6B_731/2026: Non-admission of the Appeal Regarding Causing Alarm to the Public, False Alarm, and Multiple Threats
Summary of Facts
In October 2026, the appellant filed several submissions effectively appealing the judgment notification or the judgment of the Obergericht of the Canton of Solothurn dated 28 August 2026. At the time of the submissions, no reasoning of the contested decision reviewable by the Federal Supreme Court was yet available.
Summary of Considerations
Para. 1: An appeal against a decision must be filed within 30 days after notification of the complete document pursuant to Art. 100 para. 1 BGG. Since no reviewable reasoning was yet available, the appeal was premature; it is not to be admitted in proceedings pursuant to Art. 108 BGG. Exceptionally, no costs are imposed. Para. 2: The appellant is informed that further submissions of the same type in the same matter will be filed without response after examination.
Summary of Dispositive
The appeal is not admitted. No costs are imposed.
