1C_452/2025: Appeal against the decision concerning the reconstruction of a mobile phone installation
Summary of the Facts
Swisscom (Switzerland) AG applied in 2021 to the municipal council of Sachseln for a permit to reconstruct an existing mobile phone installation to use adaptive 5G antennas in the agricultural zone. After the granting of the exemption and building police permits, residents filed an appeal to the Administrative Court of the Canton of Obwalden, which dismissed the appeal. The appellants then turned to the Federal Supreme Court.
Summary of the Considerations
- E.1: The appeal in public-law matters is admissible in the present case. The appellants are entitled to appeal because they are particularly affected by the decision and reside within the objection perimeter.
- E.2: The requirements for the reasoning of an appeal are explained. The appellants' general criticism of the permit practice is not sufficient to demonstrate an adequate engagement with the lower instance.
- E.3: The lower court considered the conversion to adaptive antennas permissible based on worst-case calculations.
- E.4: The allegation of incorrect establishment of facts and violation of the right to be heard regarding the evaluation of adaptive antennas is dismissed. The site data sheet is decisive for compliance with limit values.
- E.5: The criticism of the radiation forecast for a location with sensitive use (OMEN No. 4) is rejected as unfounded. The calculations of the Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN) are comprehensible and plausible.
- E.6: The appeal concerning compliance with precautionary and installation limits is dismissed. The worst-case consideration and the methods of acceptance measurement for adaptive antennas are lawful according to settled case law.
- E.7: The request for suspension is declared moot due to the already decided parallel proceedings. Legal aid is refused due to lack of prospects of success.
Summary of the Dispositive
The dispositive of the judgment states that the appeal is dismissed, the request for legal aid is rejected, and court costs are imposed on the appellants without any party compensation.
6B_392/2026: Non-admission of the appeal concerning a compensation claim
Summary of the Facts
The Higher Court of the Canton of Solothurn acquitted A.________ on March 17, 2026, from the accusation of multiple fraud but dismissed his compensation claim and imposed procedural costs on him. A.________ filed an appeal on March 18, 2026, which the Higher Court forwarded to the Federal Supreme Court.
Summary of the Considerations
- E.1: The Higher Court of the Canton of Solothurn dismissed the appeal due to formal defects and missing signature.
- E.2: The Federal Supreme Court considered the submission of March 18, 2026, as an appeal pursuant to Art. 42 para. 1 Federal Supreme Court Act (FSCA).
- E.3: The appeal did not contain the appellant’s handwritten original signature (Art. 42 para. 1 FSCA). A referral for correction was excluded as there was no doubt about authorship.
- E.4: The appeal was filed on March 18, 2026, before the deadline for filing an appeal had started to run. Furthermore, the submission did not meet the legal reasoning requirements under Art. 42 para. 2 and Art. 106 para. 2 FSCA.
- E.5: Due to the circumstances, no costs were imposed.
Summary of the Dispositive
The appeal was not upheld and no costs were charged. The judgment will be communicated in writing to the parties and the lower instance.
9C_320/2026: Dismissal of the appeals and the request for free legal representation
Summary of the Facts
A.________, residing in U.________/AR, was subject to direct federal tax in the Canton of Aargau in 2022. After outstanding payments, the cantonal tax office initiated a debt collection procedure, which ended in a loss certificate. This was followed by a securing order and an arrest warrant. A.________ applied for free legal aid for the procedure at the Administrative Court of the Canton of Aargau, which rejected it. A motion for reconsideration was also denied.
Summary of the Considerations
The proceedings 9C_320/2026 and 9C_329/2026 concern the same parties and facts and are therefore joined. The appeals are only partially admissible; they concern interlocutory decisions, so the strict requirements of Art. 93 FSCA must be met. The conditions for an irreparable disadvantage are fulfilled due to the threat of dismissal if the cost advance is not paid. The taxpayer did not sufficiently meet the constitutional requirements for the reasoning of her appeals. In particular, she did not substantively address the content of the administrative court’s decisions and misunderstood the limited scope of review for securing orders under Art. 169 DBG. The appeal concerning the (second) order of May 11, 2026, is inadmissible. The ordered cost advance remains unchanged. The final deadline for the payment period must be newly set.
Summary of the Dispositive
The dispositive summarizes that the proceedings are joined and the appeals as well as the request for free legal representation are dismissed. Furthermore, the Administrative Court of the Canton of Aargau is instructed to set a new payment deadline for the cost advance, and the cost decision was made.
