Questão jurídica principal
Whether the appellant had standing to bring a public-law appeal against the criminal dismissal order
Decisão extraída
She could not rely on victim-law standing because the alleged acts occurred in the exercise of hospital duties giving rise to exclusive state liability; as a private complainant she lacked a protected personal legal interest under Art. 88 OJ.
Fundamentação extraída
A criminal decision does not affect the injured party in a legally protected right because punishment belongs to the State; only formal procedural rights may be invoked.
