Omnilex summary

The appellant withdrew the public-law appeal against the Ticino tax authority in a case concerning real estate profit tax. The President of the Federal Supreme Court therefore terminated the proceedings and struck the case from the docket. Court costs of CHF 250 were charged to the appellant under the general rule applicable on withdrawal, and no party compensation was awarded to the respondent authority.

Omnilex headnote

Art. 32 cpv. 1 e 2 LTF; withdrawal of the appeal: termination of the proceedings by the presiding judge. Upon withdrawal, the case is struck from the docket and the president decides on costs and compensation pursuant to the applicable procedural rules. As a rule, court costs are borne by the appellant who withdraws the appeal, subject to a reduced fee and absent reasons to depart from that principle (Art. 66 cpv. 2 LTF). No party compensation is awarded to prevailing public authorities (Art. 68 cpv. 3 LTF).
