Questão jurídica principal
Whether the victim had standing to file a criminal appeal despite not having asserted civil claims below.
Decisão extraída
Yes. At this early stage, the alleged injuries and the nature of the offence made possible civil claims sufficiently identifiable, so standing existed.
Fundamentação extraída
A victim need not have formally stated civil claims when the proceedings had not reached a stage allowing that; the decision could affect potential compensation claims.
