Omnilex headnote

Withdrawal of appeal; effect on pending proceedings and costs: the withdrawal of a civil appeal extinguishes the case and leads to striking it off the roll (consideration). If the respondent has not yet been invited to answer, the court may impose only reduced judicial costs on the appellant and deny party compensation; the proceedings are not adjudicated on the merits.

Key legal question

Effect of the withdrawal of the appeal

Extracted holding

The withdrawal terminated the proceedings and the case had to be removed from the docket.

Extracted reasoning

A withdrawal of the appeal ends the case; the opposing party was not invited to file a response.

Key legal question

Court costs and costs allocation after withdrawal

Extracted holding

A reduced court fee of CHF 200 was charged to the appellant, and no party compensation was awarded.

Extracted reasoning

Because the appeal was withdrawn before the respondent was called upon to answer, only reduced judicial costs were imposed and no costs were allocated as indemnity.
