2. Before taking a decision on the merits of any claim, these Cantonal Commissions may hear testimony from the employee and employer, may call witnesses, and can require competent authorities and companies to provide all relevant information and documentation. If a claimant remains dissatisfied with the decision of the Cantonal Commission, an appeal can then be made to the Federation Commission for the Implementation of Article 143.
Note: If you have started a civil proceedings before a court, and the court has not yet made its judgment, then the case will be automatically transferred to the Cantonal Commission.
