Resumo Omnilex

The Bank in Lucerne challenged a judgment of the Lucerne High Court, arguing that it violated Article 102 paragraph 2 of an alleged federal bill of exchange concordat. The Federal Court held that no federally approved concordat existed; rather, several cantons had merely drafted a bill of exchange ordinance, which some of them later enacted as cantonal law. Because only the interpretation and application of cantonal law were in dispute, the Federal Court lacked competence and did not enter into the complaint.

Sumário Omnilex

Federal jurisdiction is absent where no federally approved intercantonal concordat exists and the dispute concerns solely the application and interpretation of cantonal law; a jointly drafted ordinance enacted by individual cantons as cantonal legislation does not constitute a ratified concordat. In such circumstances, a federal complaint is inadmissible for lack of competence (consid. 1-2).

  1. Beschluß vom 11. Jänner 1878 in Sachen der Bank in Luzern. Mit Rekursschrift vom 12. Dezember 1877 beschwerte sich die Bank in Luzern über ein Urtheil des luzernischen Oberge richtes vom 22. September 1877 unter der Behauptung, das selbe verletze den . 102 lemma 2 des eidg. Wechselkonkordates, welchem der Kanton Luzern beigetreten sei. Das Bundesgericht hat, in Erwägung:
  2. Daß ein von den Bundesbehörden genehmigtes Wechsel konkordat gar nicht besteht, vielmehr die Sache sich so verhält, daß mehrere Kantone gemeinschaftlich eine Wechselordnung ha ben ausarbeiten lassen, welche dann von einigen derselben, je doch nicht einmal unverändert, zum kantonalen Gesetz erhoben worden ist; ein Vertrag d. h. eine gegenseitige Verpflichtung der betreffenden Kantone zur Einführung jener Wechselordnung aber niemals eingegangen und daher auch nicht von den Bundesbe hörden ratihabirt worden ist;
  3. daß sonach dem Bundesgericht, da lediglich die Anwendung und Auslegung eines kantonalen Gesetzes in Frage steht, die Kompetenz zur Beurtheilung der vorliegenden Beschwerde man gelt; beschlossen: Auf die Beschwerde wird wegen Inkompetenz nicht eingetreten.

Questão jurídica principal

Whether the Federal Court had jurisdiction to review the complaint based on the alleged violation of a bill of exchange concordat.

Decisão extraída

No jurisdiction existed because there was no federally approved interstate concordat; only a cantonal law was at issue, namely the application and interpretation of cantonal legislation.

Fundamentação extraída

The court found that the supposed federal concordat never existed as a ratified inter-cantonal agreement. Several cantons had merely drafted a bill of exchange ordinance, later adopted by some of them as cantonal law, and not uniformly. Since only cantonal law was being applied and interpreted, federal review was unavailable.
