Key legal question
Whether the complainants had standing to appeal because the contested non-entry decision could affect civil claims.
Extracted holding
The appellants did not plausibly show any civil claims, in particular because they failed to establish ownership of the equipment allegedly affected by the offence.
Extracted reasoning
Standing under Art. 81(1)(b)(5) LTF requires the complainant to explain the civil claims it intends to assert. Here, the appellants had ceded the equipment in 2001 and their contractual arguments did not demonstrate an automatic retransfer of ownership.
