Key legal question
Whether the owner had standing to challenge the confiscation of his vehicle
Extracted holding
Yes. As owner of the confiscated property and having been unable to participate below, he had a legally protected interest and standing under Art. 81 LTF.
Extracted reasoning
Third-party owners opposing confiscation have a legal interest in annulment or modification; non-notification of the first-instance decision deprived him of participation.
