Deadline Suspension in Accident Insurance Proceedings During Court Holidays
Switzerland · Canton of Solothurn (CH-SO)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe issue before the court concerned the applicability of the suspension of deadlines during court holidays in proceedings under the Accident Insurance Act (UVG), given that until cantonal procedural law was harmonized with the Federal Act on the General Part of Social Insurance Law (ATSG) by the end of 2007, cantonal law remained in force. The court referenced new jurisprudence establishing that the deadline suspension applicable during court holidays under the ATSG also applies to UVG proceedings, but noted that in the canton of Solothurn, the relevant local Civil Procedure Code stipulated a differing rule regarding court holidays, meaning the current cantonal regulation governed the matter until harmonization.

Art. 82 Abs. 2 ATSG, § 86 ZPO. *Fristenregelung im Verfahren nach Unfallversicherungsgesetz (UVG, SR 832.20). Gemäss neuer Rechtsprechung des Eidgenössischen Versicherungsgerichts gilt der Fristenstillstand während der Gerichtsferien auch im UVG-Verfahren. Bis zur Anpassung der kantonalen Rechtspflegebestimmungen an die Regeln des Bundesgesetzes über den Allgemeinen Teil des Sozialversicherungsrechts (ATSG, SR 830.1) – gemäss Art. 82 Abs. 2 ATSG bis spätestens 31. Dezember 2007 – gilt kantonales Verfahrensrecht. Im Kanton Solothurn ist gegenwärtig § 86 der Zivilprozessordnung (ZPO, BGS 221.1) anwendbar, folglich weichen die Gerichtsferien vom ATSG ab.*
