Key legal question
Whether the criminal complaint/summons satisfied the accusation principle and cantonal pleading requirements.
Extracted holding
The summary penalty order did not sufficiently describe the conduct and therefore did not validly define the subject matter of the proceedings.
Extracted reasoning
A charge must describe the act so that the accused can recognize the objective and subjective elements of the offences. Merely listing statutory provisions and the accident as a life event is insufficient; the omission of Art. 100(1) SVG also could not establish intent, especially because negligence is punishable under the SVG unless otherwise provided.
