Omnilex summary

The parish appealed a 1989 parish tax levy of CHF 1,141 after the Cantonal Government had upheld the taxpayer's challenge. Before the administrative court ruled on the merits, the parish withdrew the appeal in light of legislative changes. The court therefore struck the appeal from the docket. It ordered no court fees or costs, but, treating the withdrawal as defeat for compensation purposes, ordered the parish to pay CHF 300 in party compensation to the respondent.
