Key legal question
Whether attorney-tariff fees could be awarded for the peace-judge proceeding despite the high value and foreign party status
Extracted holding
The peace-judge proceeding could be compensated under the cantonal attorney tariff; no federal or constitutional violation was shown.
Extracted reasoning
The appellant failed to substantiate any right to a generally low-cost preliminary procedure. It could have avoided the opposing party’s lawyer by appearing through its own organ or authorized employee and was therefore treated equally to local parties.
