Art. 75 Act on Administrative Justice (VRG) - Cost Assessment

1. The procedural costs consist of

a) the state fee, which is levied for the utilization of the authority;

b) the fees for copies and notifications of the decision;

c) the disbursements.

2. The state fee amounts to a maximum of 20,000 Swiss Francs. It depends on the scope and complexity of the case, as well as the interest and economic capacity of the parties liable for the costs. In proceedings before the Higher Court, which entail particularly high expenses, the fee range increases to 100,000 Swiss Francs. If a fully reasoned judgment is waived, the state fee is appropriately reduced.

3. For proceedings before cantonal administrative authorities, the government regulates the fee rates for the state fee, the amount of the fees for copies and notifications, as well as the reimbursement of disbursements by regulation.

4. For proceedings before the Higher Court, the Higher Court regulates, and for proceedings before the Court of Justice, the Court of Justice regulates the amount of the fees for copies and notifications, as well as the reimbursement of disbursements by regulation.
