Omnilex summary

The appellant withdrew his complaint by letter of 17 January 2014. The Federal Supreme Court therefore struck the matter from the docket as moot and did not levy any costs. The decision was issued by a single judge of the Criminal Division and notified to the parties and the cantonal high court.

Omnilex headnote

Withdrawal of a complaint before the Federal Supreme Court; mootness and costs. If the appellant withdraws the complaint, the proceedings are to be struck from the docket as moot (consid. 1). In such a situation, the court may refrain from charging costs; a cost order is not mandatory and depends on the circumstances of the case (consid. 2).
