    The local picture

    Pully

    Pully borders Lausanne, but it belongs to the Lavaux-Oron district and therefore to the Est vaudois judicial arrondissement. For a civil or criminal case, the competent court is the Tribunal d’arrondissement de l’Est vaudois (district court), not the Lausanne one; employment disputes go to the Tribunal de prud’hommes de l’arrondissement de l’Est vaudois (labour court), and criminal investigations to the Ministère public d’arrondissement de l’Est vaudois, based in Vevey.

    This split often comes as a surprise, and an application sent to the wrong authority costs time. A local lawyer points you straight to the right one: for a tenancy dispute, for example, it is the prefecture’s conciliation board for the Lavaux-Oron District. On ora., you compare verified lawyers and legal advisers in the region, their areas of law and their rates, then book at the office or by video.

      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.

    2. Work

      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.

    3. Family

      Family: the district court

      Separation, divorce, custody, maintenance: at first instance, these proceedings go to the district court (tribunal d’arrondissement) for your area – Lausanne, Est vaudois, La Côte, or Broye et Nord vaudois. A first consultation clarifies your options, the documents to gather and whether an agreement is possible before any proceedings begin.

    4. Criminal

      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.

    5. Legal aid

      Legal aid: apply to the court

      If you cannot afford proceedings, you can apply for legal aid. In the canton of Vaud, the application goes to the judge hearing the case, or to the court that would have jurisdiction over the dispute. It can exempt you from court costs and lead to a lawyer being appointed for you. A practitioner can tell you whether your situation qualifies and help you put the application together.
