Questão jurídica principal
Whether the new Swiss Criminal Code provisions applied as lex mitior to the sentencing and suspension question
Decisão extraída
Yes. Because the appellate court ruled after 1 January 2007, it had to assess whether the new law was more favorable and apply it if so.
Fundamentação extraída
Under Art. 2 CP, the court hearing the case on appeal must compare the old and new law concretely and apply the more favorable regime; the revised rules on suspension were more favorable here.
