Key legal question
Whether a cassation appeal is admissible against a cantonal remittal judgment that only finds the sentence too lenient
Extracted holding
No. The cantonal decision did not finally determine the federal-law question of the sentence length, so it was not open to nullity appeal.
Extracted reasoning
Under Art. 268 ch. 1 PPF, only judgments ending the criminal action are generally appealable; the exception for interlocutory decisions applies only when a federal-law issue is conclusively decided. Here the lower court only held that 18 months was too low and left the new sentence to the remitted court's discretion, subject to being challenged again. The linked issue of suspension did not justify broader admissibility.
