Questão jurídica principal
Whether the federal cassation appeal was admissible against the cantonal remand order
Decisão extraída
Yes. The remand decision conclusively determined issues of federal criminal law, so cassation review was available.
Fundamentação extraída
Although the decision was a remand order, it finally decided questions of validity of the criminal complaint, defamatory character of the statement, and justification under professional duty, thereby pre-judging the final merits.
