Art. 13

1 The administrative authorities may levy fees and costs for their official acts. The Government Council designates the official acts subject to charges and the fees to be collected for them in an ordinance.19

2 Several parties involved in the proceedings generally bear the costs in proportion to their degree of defeat. Costs caused by a party through violation of procedural rules or by the belated submission of facts or evidence that could have been asserted earlier shall be imposed on that party regardless of the outcome of the proceedings.

3 In proceedings concerning disputes under personnel law, no costs are charged; subject to the imposition of costs on the losing party who has caused disproportionate expense through their conduct of the litigation.34

4 In matters concerning voting rights, procedural costs are levied if the legal remedy is manifestly hopeless.49
