Omnilex summary

The Ticino Administrative Court dealt with an appeal against a State Council decision concerning a parish tax of CHF 87 for 1989. After the parish informed the court that it withdrew its appeal in light of subsequent legislative changes, the court struck the case from the docket. It ordered no court fees or expenses, but held that the withdrawal should be treated as loss for the purpose of party compensation and ordered the appellant to pay CHF 100 to the respondent.

Omnilex headnote

Art. 273 vLT; Art. 8, 12, 28 TOA; Art. 3, 18, 28, 31, 60, 61 PAmm: withdrawal of an administrative appeal after filing renders the proceedings moot and leads to striking from the roll. For the allocation of party compensation, a withdrawal may be assimilated to defeat. In such a situation, the court may waive fees and costs yet order the withdrawing party to pay a modest indemnity to the opposing party, depending on the applicable cantonal procedural rules and equitable considerations.
