Key legal question
Whether the complainant had standing to challenge the cantonal court's application of criminal law in an insult case.
Extracted holding
He lacked standing because he did not show a direct and serious impairment of his mental health and therefore was not a victim within the meaning of the applicable law.
Extracted reasoning
In offences against honour, victim status exists only if the defamatory allegation caused a direct and important psychological injury assessed objectively; absent such a showing, the injured person may only complain about denial of the right to file a complaint or a separate formal procedural right.
