Questão jurídica principal
Whether the public law appeal was admissible despite the lack of an actual and practical interest.
Decisão extraída
The appellant lacked a current and practical interest because he had never been charged, was not treated as a party, and the classification left him in essentially the same position as before the investigation.
Fundamentação extraída
The Court applied the general admissibility rule requiring a live interest at the time of judgment. Reopening the investigation almost ten years after its closure would be of merely theoretical value and would impede efficient criminal justice administration.
