Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the Federal Supreme Court had jurisdiction under Art. 161 OJ and what fee note could be reviewed.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The Court may fix only the amount of fees and expenses due for proceedings before it, and only the contested fee note of 10 February 2004 was at issue.
Extrahierte Begründung
Art. 161 OJ covers disputes about the lawyer’s remuneration; questions about the existence of the debt belong to the ordinary courts. The client did not in fact contest the later final invoice of 18 February 2004.
