Question juridique clé
Whether the instigated offense was qualified attempted arson rather than qualified arson or simple arson
Solution extraite
The court held that the cantonal court's legal qualification was not decisive for the outcome and that the complaint failed in any event because the appellant lacked a legally protected interest in annulment.
Motifs extraits
The instigator is punishable if the principal offense was at least attempted. Given the facts, the fire could have endangered the occupants, but the appellant's challenge departed from the binding facts and, even on either possible qualification, he would face the same penalty range; moreover, any error could not be corrected because of reformatio in peius.
