SummaryUnofficial

The appellant, convicted of rape, brought an extraordinary appeal on grounds of unconstitutionality against a judgment of the Criminal Chamber of the Supreme Court refusing to annul his trial by a single judge under CSMJ Resolution No. 1/15, invoking the separation of powers and a fair trial as to evidence. The Court dismissed the appeal because the Resolution had not grounded the decision and could only be reviewed in an ordinary appeal, and the evidence had been lawfully obtained.
