Questione giuridica chiave
Whether court-appointed counsel may challenge the fee award in the client’s name or must appeal in his own name.
Decisione estratta
The appeal had to be brought in the counsel’s own name; the appeal filed in the client’s name was treated as if filed by counsel himself.
Motivazione estratta
The fee determination directly affects the counsel’s own legal position. The client is not adversely affected by a fee that is too low, and the public-law relationship regarding legal aid exists primarily between the state and the counsel. Counsel therefore has standing only in his own name.
