What indemnity is due to appointed counsel under Art. 25 al. 1 LVLEtr for the detention appeal work?
The compensable work was reasonably limited to 7 hours; CHF 35 in expenses were accepted, resulting in a total indemnity of CHF 1,398.60 inclusive of VAT.
The billed 12 hours were excessive in view of the file: counsel did not visit the detention facility, the appeal brief was only six pages and not legally complex, and the annexes were limited. The expenses were, however, retained.
