Key legal question
Whether the cantonal court committed a formal denial of justice by not reviewing claims based on unlawful official acts in the criminal proceedings.
Extracted holding
No. The cantonal court's jurisdiction under the applicable cantonal provisions extended only to compensation for unjustified prosecution, not to liability claims for unlawful official conduct.
Extracted reasoning
A formal denial of justice arises only if a competent authority refuses to decide a properly filed matter. Here, claims based on unlawful official acts had to be pursued through the separate liability routes provided by cantonal law.
