Key legal question
Whether the criminal appeal was admissible despite the appellant's lack of victim status and private-prosecutor standing.
Extracted holding
No. The appellant was neither a victim under the LAV nor a private prosecutor, so he could not challenge evidence assessment or factual findings.
Extracted reasoning
A mere injured party may only complain of formal denial of justice, not of the merits; defamation/honour offences do not normally confer victim status.
