Key legal question
Whether the complainant had standing to file a criminal appeal against the dismissal of the proceedings.
Extracted holding
No. As a mere injured party, he had no legally protected interest under Art. 81(1)(b) BGG; he was not shown to be a victim whose civil claims could be affected.
Extracted reasoning
The criminal claim belongs to the state. Standing requires participation below and a legally protected interest. The injuries and psychological impact were assessed as minor and did not reach the threshold for victim status under the Victim Assistance Act.
