Art. 29 and 30 of the Federal Act on the Organization of Federal Justice; appealability of a cantonal criminal judgment on civil damages: where the challenged dispositive point does not contain a substantive adjudication of the civil claim, but merely reflects the accessory consequences of a criminal proceeding or the absence of a damages ruling after acquittal, no appealable main judgment exists. The injured party remains free to pursue a civil action; the criminal judgment does not prejudice that action. In the absence of a civil merits decision, the Federal Court will not enter into the appeal (consid. based on the cantonal court’s clarification).
