Kernrechtsfrage
Whether private party legal-aid costs may be charged to an indigent convicted defendant under Art. 426 para. 4 CCP.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes, but only if repayment is limited to the time when the defendant's financial situation has improved.
Extrahierte Begründung
Art. 426 para. 4 CCP works like the rules on defense counsel costs: an indigent defendant may be charged, but actual recovery is deferred until financial improvement; otherwise the lower court would have violated federal law.
