Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the Geneva Court of Cassation acted arbitrarily in holding that the victim had not filed quantified civil claims before the trial court
Extrahierter Entscheid
The cantonal court could not exclude the relevance of the alleged oral claim for CHF 50,000 moral damages; its finding was therefore arbitrary in the result.
Extrahierte Begründung
The Federal Court noted that the alleged quantified claim did not appear in the file, but the cantonal court itself confirmed after listening to the hearing recording that counsel had orally claimed moral damages. The cantonal court had not examined whether such oral pleadings were valid under cantonal procedure, and the Federal Court would not decide that point itself.
