Question juridique clé
Whether the complainant had standing as a victim to file the criminal cassation complaint
Solution extraite
He was not a victim within the meaning of the Victim Assistance Act because no serious impairment of his psychological integrity was shown.
Motifs extraits
For standing in criminal cassation, the complainant had to qualify as a victim. In racial-discrimination cases, victim status requires a direct and sufficiently serious impairment; mere offense or special concern is not enough. The open letter did not establish such a grave psychological impact.
