Omnilex summary

The petitioner challenged a Ticino appellate chamber decision refusing an extension of a moratorium granted for a hotel concordat. The Federal Supreme Court held that it had no competence to decide on the admissibility of such an extension under the special federal ordinance of 18 December 1920, because federal review is confined to the questions expressly listed in Arts. 32, 38, and 43. The court therefore did not enter into the merits of the complaint.

Omnilex headnote

Ordinance of the Federal Council of 18 December 1920, arts. 32, 38 and 43; jurisdiction of the Federal Supreme Court in the special procedure for hotel concordat moratoria: the Court’s cognizance is strictly confined to the questions exhaustively enumerated by the ordinance. A request for extension of a moratorium granted for the purpose of a mortgage concordat falls outside that catalogue and is therefore not subject to federal review; the complaint is inadmissible and the Court does not enter into the merits.

Extracted holding

The court lacked jurisdiction: in this special procedure, federal review is limited to the questions expressly listed in Arts. 32, 38, and 43 of the ordinance.

Extracted reasoning

The extension request concerned a matter not among the issues expressly entrusted to the Federal Supreme Court by the ordinance governing the special concordat procedure.
