Key legal question
Whether the defendant had standing to appeal the amount of the official defense counsel's fee note.
Extracted holding
No. Only the official defense counsel was entitled to challenge the amount of the fee note, and only in his own name.
Extracted reasoning
The defendant is not adversely affected by a fee note that is set too low, because he is protected by statute against additional claims by his lawyer and may even benefit if no repayment is sought. The appeal therefore had to be filed by counsel personally.
