Extracted by Omnilex

Omnilex summary

The appellant withdrew his criminal appeal against the Bern cantonal appeal chamber's decision concerning simple bodily harm and the right to file a criminal complaint. The president of the Criminal Division of the Federal Supreme Court therefore removed the case from the docket as moot and ordered that no costs be levied.

Omnilex headnote

Withdrawal of the criminal appeal; mootness of the proceedings and cost consequences. Where the appellant withdraws the appeal, the Federal Supreme Court strikes the matter from the docket as moot without examining the merits; in the absence of a further contestable dispute, no costs are charged (consid. 1-2).
