Appearance: When you appear before a judge, prothonotary or justice of the peace on a matter involving your case. If the proceedings before the lower cantonal court are conducted in English, it should also be possible to submit legal documents to the Federal Court in English. However, the language of the proceedings would remain an official language. Remand: Remand may mean that an offender is held in remand until the next hearing. It may also mean postponing criminal proceedings to another date, such as an adjournment. Procedural costs include court costs (trial costs, costs of taking evidence, etc.) and party costs (representation costs and costs). As a general rule, the unsuccessful party shall bear the costs of the proceedings. If neither party is considered to have been fully successful on the merits, the costs of the proceedings shall be apportioned according to the outcome of the proceedings. In the event of a settlement, fees are generally charged to the parties in accordance with the terms of the settlement agreement. Court fees and party costs shall be determined and apportioned ex officio in accordance with the tariffs for procedural costs. Each canton has its own fee scale, which is usually based on the amount in dispute.

The costs of the proceedings therefore differ from one canton to another. Used when a voir dire is the next scheduled court event. The Code of Civil Procedure, on the other hand, allows the parties to opt for a cantonal court to hear the complaint instead of the Federal Court. With regard to grounds of appeal, in addition to the grounds set out in the PILA, the CPC also allows arbitral awards to be set aside if they are arbitrary or based on manifestly erroneous application of the law or establishment of facts or breach of fairness. The grounds of appeal under the CPC are therefore much broader than under the PILA.

The court decides on an application for interim measures in summary proceedings. Therefore, the documents constitute the main evidence for obtaining interim measures. An important feature that has recently been included in the Code of Civil Procedure is the preventive taking of evidence, which is also governed by the provisions on interim measures (see above).

The jurisdiction of the foreign court that issued the decision must be determined on the basis of the criteria set out in the PILA. The PILA defines the specific situations in which the jurisdiction of the foreign court is recognized. These include: where a provision of the PILA provides for such jurisdiction; if the defendant was domiciled in the State where the judgment was given; or, in financial matters, if the parties have submitted to the jurisdiction of the foreign court by means of an agreement valid under the rules of the PILA.

A written court order asking the recipient to do or stop doing what is stated in the order. According to the practice of the Federal Supreme Court, third-party financing of litigation is in principle protected by the fundamental right to economic freedom. The financing of a dispute by an independent third party is therefore permitted in Switzerland, provided that the lawyer of the (financed) party acts independently and without instructions from the third-party funder. However, the lawyer representing the party in court is prohibited from participating in the financing. This is due to the fact that lawyers in Switzerland are generally not allowed to enter into agreements with their clients, according to which their fees are based exclusively on the product in case of success (pactum de quota litis). These principles were confirmed by the Federal Supreme Court (judgment 2C_814/2014 of 22 January 2015). In Switzerland, legal proceedings are generally financed by the parties themselves. However, a party may apply for legal aid if it does not have the financial means to finance the proceedings and if the case does not appear to have a chance of success.
