Key legal question
Whether the appeal against the joinder decision was admissible despite being an incidental decision.
Extracted holding
The appeal was inadmissible because the joinder decision was an incidental ruling that did not cause irreparable legal harm and did not fall under the immediate appeal exceptions.
Extracted reasoning
A joinder of criminal cases normally does not create irreparable legal prejudice; the alleged disadvantages from a default judgment could be remedied by challenging that judgment or seeking relief in cantonal procedure.
