Question juridique clé
Whether the complainants had standing to appeal because the challenged criminal non-entry decision could affect civil claims.
Solution extraite
They had no standing, because under Vaud public liability law any liability of the agent was excluded and any claim lay only against the public authority.
Motifs extraits
Standing under Art. 81(1)(b)(5) LTF requires potential effects on civil claims. The appellants did not show such claims, and the cantonal law excluded personal liability of the agent; therefore no civil claims against the persons complained of existed. No formal denial-of-justice claim or other legally protected interest was shown.
