Question juridique clé
Whether the criminal prosecution was time-barred
Solution extraite
The negligent conduct was deemed to have occurred no earlier than 11 August 2000, so prosecution was not time-barred under either old or new limitation rules.
Motifs extraits
The court upheld the factual finding that all repair and control work ended only on 11 August 2000; therefore the relevant act of approval could not have occurred before that date.
