Question juridique clé
Whether the municipal contravention authority had standing to file a criminal complaint before the Federal Supreme Court.
Solution extraite
The municipal contravention authority lacked standing to appeal to the Federal Supreme Court.
Motifs extraits
Although it could act in cantonal remedies, Zurich law assigns representation of the canton in federal proceedings to the cantonal public prosecution authority; the municipal authority is not equated with the public prosecutor for Federal Supreme Court standing.
