Whether the appellant had standing to challenge the refusal to open proceedings
Decisione estratta
He lacked standing because he was neither a private prosecutor nor a victim within the meaning of the Victim Assistance Act.

A person harmed but not acting as private prosecutor or victim is not entitled to appeal in criminal matters; the appellant did not suffer the kind of direct, traumatic infringement required for victim status.
