Question juridique clé
Whether the severance of the joint criminal proceedings against K. and F. was justified under the CPC.
Solution extraite
The severance was justified because F.'s case had to be dealt with separately in light of a later complaint, and the measure simplified the proceedings and allowed a quicker conclusion for K.
Motifs extraits
Under Arts. 29 and 30 CPC, unity is the rule and severance the exception, but objective reasons may justify it when it serves procedural economy and avoids delay. The court found such reasons present here.
