Omnilex summary

The appellant withdrew his public-law appeal against a Vaud cantonal civil judgment in an insurance annuity case. The Federal Court, by order of the president, took note of the withdrawal, struck the case from the roll, and charged the appellant with a judicial fee of CHF 500. The order also noted that the older procedural law remained applicable because the challenged decision predated 1 January 2007.
