Reinstatement into the status prior to the expiration of the deadline for filing an appeal against a criminal judgment

The Federal Court of Criminal Procedure granted the defendant's motion for reinstatement to the status prior to the expiration of the appeal deadline, allowing the defendant to file an appeal against the lower court's judgment at the defendant's own expense. The dispute centered on a procedural challenge where the defendant sought to remedy a missed deadline to file a legal revision against a criminal judgment rendered by the Landgericht Stendal. The court applied the doctrine of reinstatement for missed deadlines and established that the statutory period for the lower court to supplement abbreviated trial grounds commences upon the court's receipt of the case files, while the deadline for the defendant to provide grounds for revision begins only upon service of the completed judgment.
