Competence over time-limited local traffic regulation appeals

ATA/609/1997Court of Justice / Administrative ChamberOct 7, 1997Inadmissible

Extracted by Omnilex

Omnilex summary

The court held that Art. 8 LTA does not permit an appeal to the cantonal administrative court against a Conseil d'Etat decision regulating local traffic for a limited period. Since no other cantonal court has jurisdiction over such a decision, the only available remedy is an appeal to the Federal Council within 30 days from publication or notification. The court therefore declined cantonal jurisdiction and declared the appeal inadmissible.

Omnilex headnote

Art. 8 LTA; competence to challenge a Conseil d'Etat decision concerning a time-limited local traffic regulation: none of the cases enumerated in Art. 8 LTA opens cantonal administrative-court review. Where cantonal jurisdiction is excluded and no other cantonal judicial authority is competent, the sole remedy is an appeal to the Federal Council, to be lodged within 30 days from publication or notification of the contested decision.

Résumé

Aucun des cas énumérés à l'art. 8 LTA ne permet d'introduire un recours au TA contre une décision du CE ayant pour objet une réglementation locale du trafic limitée dans le temps. Cette compétence ne relève d'aucune autre juridiction cantonale, de sorte que tout recours contre une telle décision doit être porté devant le Conseil fédéral dans les 30 jours, dès sa publication ou sa notification.

Key legal question

Whether an appeal against a Conseil d'Etat decision on a time-limited local traffic regulation is admissible before the cantonal administrative court under Art. 8 LTA.

Extracted holding

No. None of the cases listed in Art. 8 LTA allows such an appeal to the administrative court.

Extracted reasoning

The contested measure is a local traffic regulation limited in time and does not fall within any category granting cantonal administrative-court review.

Key legal question

Which authority has jurisdiction to hear an appeal against that type of decision.

Extracted holding

The matter is not within the jurisdiction of any other cantonal court; the appeal must be filed with the Federal Council within 30 days from publication or notification.

Extracted reasoning

Because cantonal judicial review is excluded for this type of decision, the only available remedy is the federal administrative appeal to the Federal Council within the statutory time limit.
