The local picture
Nyon
Nyon is the main town of the district of the same name and part of the La Côte judicial arrondissement, which covers the Nyon and Morges districts. Civil and criminal cases at first instance go to the Tribunal d’arrondissement de La Côte (district court), employment disputes to the Tribunal de prud’hommes de l’arrondissement de La Côte (labour court), and criminal investigations to the Ministère public d’arrondissement de La Côte (regional public prosecutor), based in Morges.
Many Nyon residents work in Geneva or for an international organisation, so some disputes involve two cantons. The court for an employment dispute, for instance, may be in Geneva if that is where you work. On ora., a verified lawyer or legal adviser tells you which authority has jurisdiction, and you book at the office or by video. ora.’s service fee is charged separately from the practitioner’s fee.

Tenancy
Tenancy: the prefecture’s conciliation board first
A dispute with your landlord, whether over rent, a defect or a notice to quit, normally starts before the Commission préfectorale de conciliation en matière de baux à loyer, the tenancy conciliation board. Each district has its own, attached to the prefecture; the one where the property is located has jurisdiction. It tries to bring the parties to an agreement; if that fails, the case can go to court. A lawyer helps you draft the application and meet the deadlines.

Employment: four labour courts
Vaud’s ten districts are grouped into four judicial arrondissements, each with its own labour court (tribunal de prud’hommes): Lausanne, Est vaudois, La Côte, and Broye et Nord vaudois. It decides disputes between employers and employees, from a contested dismissal to unpaid wages or a work reference. Before you act, a lawyer checks your documents and any deadline that is already running.

Criminal: the regional public prosecutor
A criminal complaint, a summons to an interview or a summary penalty order: investigations are led by the Ministère public du canton de Vaud, the cantonal public prosecutor, through its regional offices for Lausanne, Est vaudois, La Côte and Nord vaudois. The trial then takes place before the district court. The deadline to object to a summary penalty order is short, so speak to a lawyer without delay.
