Question juridique clé
Whether the criminal-law appeal was admissible against the cantonal judgment.
Solution extraite
The appeal was inadmissible because the challenged decision was not issued by a cantonal court of last instance and the President of the Pretura penale did not act as a sole cantonal instance under the CPP.
Motifs extraits
Under Art. 80 LTF, as amended by the unified CPP, criminal-law appeals lie only against decisions of a cantonal upper court or another authority acting as sole cantonal instance. That condition was not met here.
