Question juridique clé
Whether the complainant had standing to bring a public law appeal against the dismissal of the criminal case.
Solution extraite
The complainant lacked standing because the dismissal did not affect a legally protected interest within the meaning of Art. 88 OJ.
Motifs extraits
In principle, a complainant has no standing to challenge a refusal to prosecute; the criminal action belongs to the State and only indirectly benefits the injured party. The victim statute did not apply.
