Key legal question
Whether the complainants had standing to appeal the dismissal of the criminal complaint before the Federal Court.
Extracted holding
They lacked standing because they failed to show civil claims linked to the alleged offenses, and such claims were not evident from the file.
Extracted reasoning
In a challenge to a dismissal, a private complainant must explain what civil claims it intends to pursue, unless they follow directly and unambiguously from the offense. General assertions about commercial harm or speculative health effects were insufficient.
