Question juridique clé
Whether the widow had standing to bring a nullity appeal as a victim with civil-law claims affected by the dismissal.
Solution extraite
She had no standing because the canton alone was liable for any damage caused by the hospital staff, leaving her with no private-law claim against the medical personnel.
Motifs extraits
A nullity appeal by a victim is available only if the decision can affect civil claims. Here, the doctors acted within a public hospital, the State of Geneva alone would answer for damage under cantonal public liability rules, and no direct private-law claim against the staff existed.
