Amount of compensation due to appointed counsel for the appeal proceedings
The appointed counsel was entitled to CHF 1,017.80, inclusive of VAT and expenses, for 5 hours of work.
Under Art. 135 CPP the appointed defense counsel is compensated according to the applicable tariff. Given the nature and difficulty of the case and the counsel's prior familiarity with the file, the claimed 6 hours and 40 minutes were somewhat excessive; 5 hours was deemed appropriate.
