Key legal question
Was the recourse admissible against the first-instance decision fixing the fee of the complainant's legal-aid counsel, payable by the convicted person?
Extracted holding
No. The convicted person had to challenge that fee award by appeal, not by recourse.
Extracted reasoning
Under the Code of Criminal Procedure, the defence counsel or legal-aid counsel attacks the fee decision by recourse, but the convicted person disputing the amount charged to him must use appeal; therefore the filed recourse was the wrong remedy.
