Question juridique clé
Whether the public-law appeal was admissible and whether the appellant had standing on the merits
Solution extraite
The appeal was admissible in formal terms, but the appellant lacked standing on the merits because he was not a victim under the Victim Assistance Act.
Motifs extraits
A complainant or civil party without victim status may not challenge the merits of a criminal discontinuance; only formal procedural violations amounting to denial of justice remain reviewable.
