Omnilex summary

The Zurich High Court ordered the complaint proceedings to be joined with the pending appeal proceedings LB160081-O. As a result, the complaint case was separately closed and struck off the docket. The decision contains no substantive ruling on the underlying personality-rights dispute, the cost advance, or legal aid issues; it is purely procedural.

Omnilex headnote

Joinder of proceedings; where a complaint and an appeal concern the same matter and are procedurally connected, the appellate court may order their consolidation and continue the case under one file number. The separate proceeding then becomes terminated and is removed from the docket; no substantive adjudication on the merits follows from the joinder order (consid. 1-3).
