Key legal question
Whether the public law appeal was admissible against the cantonal decision on nullity complaints
Extracted holding
The appeal was inadmissible because the cantonal court had not finally resolved the merits and an ordinary cantonal review remained available in the pending appeal proceedings.
Extracted reasoning
Under Art. 86(1) OJ, federal public-law appeal lies only against a final cantonal decision. Here, the cantonal court merely held that the extraordinary remedy of reopening by default was unavailable and stated that the underlying complaints would be examined with full cognizance in the pending appeal against the conviction.
