BGE 1 I 287 ΓÇó Federal court lacked competence over Sunday-law complaint
BGE 1 I 287Amtliche Sammlung des Bundesgerichts (BGE) / Band I20.08.1875Inadmissible
The case concerned a challenge to a Buochs communal resolution alleged to breach Sunday law by banning communal meetings during and after worship services. The complainants brought the matter before the Federal Court. The Court held that jurisdiction over disputes relating to Arts. 49-51 of the Federal Constitution was reserved to the Federal Council and, where applicable, the Federal Assembly. It therefore found that it was not competent to decide the complaint and declined to enter into the merits.
Art. 113 Abs. 2 BV; Art. 59 Abs. 2 Ziff. 6 OG; jurisdiction over complaints concerning Arts. 49-51 BV is reserved to the Federal Council, respectively the Federal Assembly, insofar as they concern religious freedom and the free exercise of worship; the Federal Court is competent only for fiscal matters under Art. 49 Abs. 6 BV and for cantonal disputes under the church-law reservation of Art. 50 Abs. 3 BV. Complaints outside this sphere are inadmissible before the Court and must be dealt with by the political federal authorities.
