Art. 21 Legge di procedura 6.4.61; taxation of counsel fees in legal-aid matters and allocation of costs. The court taxes the submitted honorarium according to the applicable cantonal tariff and may order the fee note to be paid by the State when legal aid has been granted. In such ancillary taxation orders, the justice fee may be waived and the procedural expenses placed at the State’s charge. The operative part may also specify the available cantonal remedy and its time limit for contesting the amount of the honorarium (consid. implicit in the dispositive part).
