Question juridique clé
Whether the district court president's decision on the penal order was void after the objection had lapsed by law due to non-appearance.
Solution extraite
The decision was not void; the judge had jurisdiction, committed only a procedural error, and the defect was neither obvious nor a serious violation of a fundamental competence rule.
Motifs extraits
Nulity requires a grave, obvious defect and no serious threat to legal certainty. Here the judge was competent in general and merely overlooked that the objection had already been deemed withdrawn under cantonal procedure. The error required review of the file and was therefore not obvious; legal certainty in criminal matters militated against later nullity.
