Omnilex summary

In a first-instance criminal order, the Pretura penale noted that the complainant had withdrawn the criminal complaint against the accused. Relying on Art. 31 CPS, the court struck the case from the roll, cancelled the hearing already scheduled for the same year, and ordered the file returned to the competent authority. No judicial fees or expenses were imposed.

Omnilex headnote

Art. 31 CPS; withdrawal of a criminal complaint entails termination of the proceedings where the prosecution depends on the complaint. The court may consequently strike the case from the docket and cancel any already scheduled hearing; in such a situation, costs may be waived when the decision so provides.

Key legal question

Whether the criminal proceedings should continue after withdrawal of the complaint

Extracted holding

The proceedings were struck from the docket because the complainant withdrew the complaint.

Extracted reasoning

Once the complaint was withdrawn, the basis for continuing the proceedings fell away; the court therefore removed the case from the roll under Art. 31 CPS.

Key legal question

Whether the scheduled criminal hearing should still take place

Extracted holding

The already fixed hearing was cancelled.

Extracted reasoning

Because the case was struck out, the hearing became unnecessary and had to be annulled.
