Question juridique clé
Whether the refusal to reopen the criminal case violated fair-trial guarantees because the criminal judgment relied on an allegedly invalid civil judgment.
Solution extraite
No. The challenged criminal decision did not depend on the allegedly invalid civil judgment, and the complaint was largely appellatory.
Motifs extraits
The reviewing chamber explained that the civil judgment was not decisive. The criminal court relied on prior final civil judgments confirming the non-compete issues. The appellant did not sufficiently engage with that reasoning.
