Question juridique clé
Whether the company had standing to intervene as a civil party in the criminal proceedings under Vaud procedural law
Solution extraite
The company did not show a direct civil interest or a sufficiently substantiated civil claim against the alleged offender, so civil-party status was properly denied.
Motifs extraits
Civil-party standing requires immediate, direct harm and a motivated statement of the civil claim. The company only alleged operational harm from the death of its director, which was indirect and not enough; it failed to specify any legally cognizable damages claim.
