Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the first instance could fix party compensation by discretion without inviting a detailed honorarium note.
Decisione estratta
No. Section 160(1) GT required the court to allow submission of a fee note; estimating the compensation ex officio was improper.
Motivazione estratta
The first-instance court failed to give the represented party the opportunity to file a cost note and instead assessed the work at its discretion. This violated the procedural rule and the constitutional right to be heard.
