Omnilex summary

AT 1 brought a direct civil appeal against CV 1 claiming CHF 2,209,280. After a conciliation record had been drawn up, AT 1 informed the court that the petition was withdrawn because the parties had reached an agreement and the agreed amount had been paid. The Second Civil Chamber of the Court of Appeal therefore struck the case from the docket for settlement. Taking account of the parties' good faith in resolving the dispute, it set court fees and expenses at CHF 300, payable by AT 1, and ordered party costs to be compensated.

Omnilex headnote

Art. 352 CPC; striking out proceedings upon settlement and withdrawal of the claim. Where the parties notify the court that the dispute has been settled and the claimant withdraws the action, the appellate court removes the case from the docket. In determining the court fee, the court may take account of the parties’ willingness to resolve the dispute amicably. If the parties agree, party costs may be set off against each other; the dispositive order then limits itself to the allocation of court costs and the striking out of the proceedings.
