Omnilex summary

The Ticino Administrative Court dealt with an appeal against a decision of the president of the expropriation tribunal. Before judgment, the appellant's counsel informed the court that the appeal was withdrawn. The court therefore removed the case from the docket, held that no court fees or expenses would be collected, and ordered the appellant to pay the respondent CHF 500 in party costs because the respondent had retained counsel for its response.

Omnilex headnote

Withdrawal of the appeal entails striking the case from the docket; where the proceedings are thereby exhausted, no further merits review is undertaken. In such a procedural termination, court fees may be waived, but the respondent may be awarded party costs when representation by licensed counsel was necessary for the response (consid. 1-2).
