Key legal question
Whether the complainant had standing to appeal the cantonal dismissal decision under the CCP and the Federal Supreme Court Act.
Extracted holding
As a mere shareholder, she was not directly injured by the offences and was therefore not a protected person entitled to appeal.
Extracted reasoning
Only a directly injured person or civil claimant has standing; a shareholder is not, by that status alone, a creditor of the company. The alleged harm stemmed from the company’s bankruptcy and was only indirect.
