The accused appealed for state compensation of CHF 2,500 for lost earnings and CHF 8,000 for satisfaction. The appellate court held that these claims had not been shown to have been raised before the Amtsstatthalter and therefore could not be examined for the first time on appeal. It declined to enter into the request and remanded the matter to the competent Amtsstatthalter for processing.

Sumário Omnilex

§ 280 Abs. 2 StPO; compensation claims raised for the first time on appeal are inadmissible where they were not previously submitted to the lower authority. The appellate instance is confined by the function of the two-instance system and may only review matters that were already before the authority below. If the record does not show prior submission, the appellate court must decline to enter into the request and remand the matter to the competent lower authority for treatment.

Texto completo

Aus den Erwägungen:

Der Angeschuldigte stützt sein Rekursbegehren betreffend Verdienstausfall-Entschädigung von Fr. 2500.- und Genugtuung von Fr. 8000.- zu Lasten des Staats auf § 280 Abs. 2 StPO. Dass er diese Ansprüche schon vor dem Amtsstatthalter geltend gemacht hätte, trägt er nicht vor und ist aus den Untersuchungsakten auch nicht ersichtlich. Die Rekursinstanz könnte darüber nur befinden, wenn die nun vorgetragenen Ansprüche bereits der unteren Instanz zur Beurteilung vorgelegen hätten. Das entspricht der Zweckbestimmung des Instanzenzugs.

Auf das entsprechende Begehren ist daher nicht einzutreten, und die Sache ist an den zuständigen Amtsstatthalter zur Bearbeitung zurückzuweisen (vgl. Max. XI Nrn. 375 und 451).

Questão jurídica principal

Whether the appellate court may decide on compensation claims for lost earnings and satisfaction raised for the first time on appeal.

Decisão extraída

No. The appellate court may only decide on claims that were already submitted to and assessed by the lower authority; otherwise the claims must first be processed by the competent Amtsstatthalter.

Fundamentação extraída

This follows from the function of the two-instance system. Since the accused did not show that he had already asserted the claims before the Amtsstatthalter, the appellate court cannot examine them in substance.
