Question juridique clé
Whether the private complainant had standing before the Federal Supreme Court to challenge the discontinuation of the investigation.
Solution extraite
Standing depended on whether the contested decision could affect the complainant's civil claims; because any claims against the public-school teachers were governed by public liability law and not directed against them personally, standing was absent.
Motifs extraits
For public employees acting in an official capacity, damage claims are governed by the Zurich Liability Act, which excludes direct claims against the employees themselves. Since the teachers acted while performing public-school duties, any civil claims were public-law claims against the liable public entity, not against the teachers as individuals.
