Question juridique clé
Whether the criminal appeal against the cantonal detention decision remained admissible after a new merits judgment and pending appeal on the merits.
Solution extraite
The appeal was inadmissible in part because the complainant lacked a current legal interest, and the cantonal court had lost competence once a new judgment on the merits and an appeal therefrom existed.
Motifs extraits
The detention title had changed with the new judgment of 18 March 2010; the challenged decision no longer governed the detention. The complainant could file a fresh release request with the competent president of the cassation court.
