Question juridique clé
Whether Art. 344 CPP applies in appeal proceedings and allowed requalification from aggression to brawl.
Solution extraite
Yes. Art. 344 CPP applies by analogy in appeal; the appellate court may change the legal qualification if the parties are informed and heard, without changing the indictment facts.
Motifs extraits
Art. 379 CPP and Art. 405 CPP extend general and first-instance debate rules to appeal. The new qualification must fit the facts in the indictment; here it did, and the appellant had been warned in advance.
