Key legal question
Whether the appeal was admissible for claims for legal fees and public-law damages arising from the criminal proceedings.
Extracted holding
The challenge to legal-fee compensation belonged in criminal appeal, but the state-liability damages had to be pursued by public-law appeal; the latter was admissible because the value in dispute exceeded CHF 30,000.
Extracted reasoning
The Court distinguished procedural costs closely linked to the criminal case from broader damage claims against the Canton arising from prosecutorial measures.
