Question juridique clé
Whether the complainant had standing to challenge the no-prosecution order on the merits before the Federal Supreme Court.
Solution extraite
He lacked standing on the merits because the appeal did not concern his criminal complaint right as such and he showed no effect on civil claims.
Motifs extraits
In defamation matters, the private complainant may appeal only if the decision can influence civil claims. He had expressly reserved civil claims for civil proceedings, and he raised no separable procedural complaints.
