Key legal question
Whether the CFMJ had standing to raise constitutional complaints in a criminal appeal under the DPA and LTF framework.
Extracted holding
Yes. The CFMJ retained independent appellate standing under Art. 83 para. 1 DPA and could also invoke constitutional violations under the criminal appeal.
Extracted reasoning
The old nullity appeal was replaced by the criminal appeal, whose scope includes violations of federal law, including constitutional rights. As with the public prosecutor, the concerned administration may therefore invoke such violations.
