Questão jurídica principal
Whether the defendant's nullity appeal remained justiciable after the prosecution's parallel appeal was allowed and the cantonal judgment annulled.
Decisão extraída
The appeal had become moot because the remand left open the punishment only hypothetically, and the defendant lacked an immediate legal interest.
Fundamentação extraída
After the prosecution appeal was admitted, the cantonal court had to reassess the elements of the offence and possibly the sentence. Since the defendant's sentencing complaint depended on that future reassessment, the Federal Court held there was no current interest in deciding it.
