Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the victim or its lawyer has a right to inspect the file in juvenile criminal proceedings.
Extrahierter Entscheid
As a rule, the victim or its lawyer is entitled to access the file in juvenile proceedings; access may be restricted only where specific protected interests so require.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court read §§ 30(2), 150 and 153 StPO together and held that the law does not exclude victim file access in juvenile cases. The victim’s rights, including participation in hearings and pursuing a settlement on civil claims, make file access practically necessary.
