Key legal question
Amount of the court-appointed counsel fee for Me Philippe Dal Col until 2014-03-31
Extracted holding
The claimed 7 hours and 10 minutes were excessive; 6 remunerated hours were accepted, plus CHF 50 disbursements and VAT, resulting in CHF 1,166.40.
Extracted reasoning
Under Art. 135(1) and 138(1) CPP, the appointed defender is compensated according to the applicable tariff. Since the activity consisted mainly of drafting the appeal and a few communications, the documented time was somewhat too high.
