Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the cantonal court acted arbitrarily or violated fair-trial guarantees by refusing to suspend the appeal until the new Criminal Code entered into force.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. The court had to decide under the law in force at the time of its judgment and was not obliged to await the new regime.
Extrahierte Begründung
The new law was not yet applicable to the appealed decision. Deciding before its entry into force did not make the court's reasoning arbitrary or unfair.
