Questão jurídica principal
Whether the public-law appeal was admissible to challenge the non-suit on the merits
Decisão extraída
The appellant lacked standing under Art. 88 OJ insofar as he attacked the merits of the non-suit; those complaints were inadmissible.
Fundamentação extraída
A public-law appeal protects only legally protected personal interests, not a general interest. In a patrimonial-offence case against a non-suit, the complainant generally has no standing to contest the substantive assessment of evidence or the criminal-law merits.
