Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the complainant had standing to challenge the partial refusal of legal aid in the criminal case.
Decisione estratta
He lacked standing to contest the merits because he could not assert civil claims against the police officers personally; the alleged conduct did not reach the threshold for direct reliance on protection against torture or ill-treatment.
Motivazione estratta
Claims arising from police misconduct in office were public-law claims against the State under Vaud law, not civil claims under the adhesion procedure. The alleged offence was also insufficiently grave to trigger exceptional standing.
