Question juridique clé
Whether the complainant had standing to bring a public law appeal against the non-lieu
Solution extraite
Standing was recognized because the daughters qualified as victims and the mother could assert their procedural rights and civil claims.
Motifs extraits
Although a criminal complainant usually lacks a legally protected interest, victim status under the Victim Assistance Act can confer standing when the decision may affect civil claims. The daughters’ alleged psychological harm made victim status plausible, and the mother had already been a party below.
