Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the cantonal commission wrongly denied party compensation under § 36 VRPG to a self-represented ex officio defense counsel.
Decisione estratta
The commission's interpretation of § 36 VRPG was not arbitrary; the provision may be read as limiting compensation to counsel represented by a lawyer, so the denial was not unconstitutional on that ground.
Motivazione estratta
The wording of § 36 VRPG supports the restrictive reading, and the practice of limiting party compensation to legally represented parties is common and accepted.
