Question juridique clé
Whether the complainant had standing to file a public-law appeal against the dismissal/non-prosecution order
Solution extraite
He lacked standing because he was neither personally a victim nor a person assimilated to a victim with civil claims that could be affected by the dismissal.
Motifs extraits
Under Art. 88 OJ, a complainant normally has only a factual interest. Standing exists only for a victim under the LAVI, or an assimilated person with civil claims affected by the decision. The alleged civil claims for travel and lodging costs were too remote and causally doubtful.
