Key legal question
Whether the criminal appeal on appointed-counsel fees fell within the jurisdiction of a single judge of the appeal chamber.
Extracted holding
Yes. The fee is an accessory economic consequence, and the amount in dispute was below CHF 5,000.
Extracted reasoning
Under Art. 395 let. b CPP, a single judge may decide appeals concerning economic accessory consequences when the disputed amount does not exceed CHF 5,000; the disputed difference between the requested and awarded fee was below that threshold.
