Art. 58 OG; principal judgment in civil claims asserted in criminal proceedings against several solidary defendants. A principal judgment exists not only where all claims in dispute are finally resolved, but also where the claims directed against one defendant are definitively disposed of. In adhesion proceedings, an appeal is admissible already if the claim against the particular defendant concerned has been conclusively adjudicated, even though proceedings continue against other co-defendants. This applies a fortiori where, as in criminal proceedings, procedural joinder of defendants is lacking and the civil claims are formally distinct, notwithstanding solidarity of liability (consid. 1).
