Question juridique clé
Whether the spouses had standing to bring a public-law appeal against the cantonal decision refusing to recognize them as injured parties and upholding the non-prosecution decision.
Solution extraite
They lacked standing because the refusal to proceed did not affect any legally protected interest; they had only a factual interest in prosecution.
Motifs extraits
Under Art. 88 OJ, a complainant generally has no standing against non-indictment or dismissal decisions. Standing exists only for a victim within the meaning of the victim assistance statute when civil claims may be affected. The spouses did not qualify, and the cantonal court had in any event addressed their objections.
