Key legal question
Whether the complaint against the fee determination in the criminal case was admissible before the Federal Supreme Court.
Extracted holding
Challenges to compensation for appointed defence counsel are treated as criminal-law matters; the appellant had standing to seek annulment of the cantonal final decision.
Extracted reasoning
Party and procedural costs are inseparably linked to the criminal proceedings, and the appellant had a legally protected interest in overturning the cantonal judgment.
