Question juridique clé
Whether the complainant had standing to file a criminal appeal before the Federal Court in a defamation case
Solution extraite
He lacked standing because he did not claim a direct injury to bodily, sexual, or psychological integrity and was not a victim within the meaning of the LAVI.
Motifs extraits
Under Art. 81 LTF, a person harmed only in honor without victim status generally has no standing; the Court held that the new law continues the previous rule.
