Omnilex summary

The Zurich High Court, Family Division, dealt with an appeal in a matrimonial protection matter concerning maintenance contributions and litigation-cost contributions. It ordered that appeal file LE140035 be joined with appeal file LE140032 and that the joined case proceed under LE140032. As a result, the present proceedings were marked off the docket as concluded. No substantive maintenance issue was decided in this order.

Omnilex headnote

Joinder of appeal proceedings; procedural closure following consolidation. Where two appeal files concern related matters, the appellate court may order joinder and continuation under one reference number. The separately filed appeal is then struck off as erledigt abgeschrieben, without determining the merits of the underlying family-law claims. The order is purely procedural and does not affect the substantive dispute, which continues only in the consolidated proceeding.
