Whether the dispositive of the appellate decision of 16 October 2013 could be corrected ex officio under Art. 83(1) CPP for an obvious misdesignation.
Yes. The reference to the wrong police court was an obvious designation error that could be corrected ex officio.
Art. 83(1) CPP permits explanation or correction of unclear, contradictory or incomplete decisions, and the authority may also correct manifest slips in designation. The mistake concerned only the naming of the first-instance court.
