Question juridique clé
Whether the nullity appeal was admissible under Art. 270 let. e ch. 1 PPF despite the canton’s exclusive state liability regime.
Solution extraite
The appellant lacked standing because Geneva law provides a primary and exclusive public-law claim against the State, not a direct action against the officers.
Motifs extraits
The alleged harm was caused by state agents acting in service. Under cantonal liability law, only the Canton of Geneva is liable for damage caused by such agents, and injured persons have no direct claim against the individual officers. Therefore the appellant could not be affected in civil claims within the meaning of Art. 270 let. e ch. 1 PPF.
