Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the complainant had standing to challenge the dismissal of the criminal proceedings
Decisione estratta
He lacked standing because he was neither an injured party within the meaning of the Victims Act nor a principal private prosecutor.
Motivazione estratta
The alleged offences did not directly affect his physical or psychological integrity. Since the investigating judge dismissed the case, the complainant was not a principal private prosecutor for purposes of federal appeal standing. A mere injured person without victim or private-prosecutor status is not entitled to bring a criminal appeal.
