Question juridique clé
Whether the complainant had standing to challenge the non-opening of the criminal investigation on the merits
Solution extraite
No. As the alleged offences were not sufficient to confer victim status under the Victim Support Act, she could not invoke an expanded standing under federal law and could only complain of formal rights violations.
Motifs extraits
A private injured person generally lacks standing to pursue the prosecution of another person; only victims under the Victim Support Act may obtain broader standing. The alleged acts here were petty offences and did not amount to an immediate, qualifying impairment of integrity.
