Sintesi Omnilex

The Anklagekammer held that compensation for disadvantages under § 36 StPO and party compensation under § 37 StPO may be reduced or refused only on the same grounds as a costs order against the accused. Such a departure is justified only if the accused caused or worsened the investigation by reprehensible or reckless conduct. In principle, the compensation decision should follow the allocation of procedural costs. The decision is framed by §§ 36 f. StPO and Art. 6(2) ECHR.

§§ 36 f. StPO; Art. 6 Ziff. 2 EMRK; compensation after acquittal or discontinuance of proceedings: a reduction or denial of compensation for disadvantages under § 36 StPO and of party costs under § 37 StPO is admissible only under the same conditions as a costs order against the accused.

As a rule, the compensation ruling follows the allocation of procedural costs (consid. 1).

Titel:** Entschädigung bei Freispruch oder Einstellung des Verfahrens**
Resümee:§§ 36 f. StPO; Art. 6 Ziff. 2 EMRK. Entschädigung bei Freispruch oder Einstellung des Verfahrens.
SOG 1992 Nr. 24 **§§ 36 f. StPO; Art. 6 Ziff. 2 EMRK.*Entschädigung bei Freispruch oder Einstellung des Verfahrens. Die Herabsetzung oder Verweigerung einer Entschädigung für Nachteile gemäss § 36 StPO bzw. einer Parteientschädigung gemäss § 37 StPO ist unter den gleichen Voraussetzungen zulässig, wie die Kostenauflage zu Lasten des Beschuldigten (SOG 1991 Nr. 32).Sie kommt nur in Frage, wenn der Beschuldigte die Untersuchung durch verwerfliches oder leichtfertiges Verhalten veranlasst oder erschwert hat. Das bedeutet, dass der Entscheid über die Ausrichtung von Entschädigungen gemäss § 36 f. StPO grundsätzlich demjenigen über die Tragung der Verfahrenskosten zu folgen hat (vgl. BGE 116 Ia 164 f., 115 Ia 310). * Obergericht Anklagekammer, Urteil vom 13. März 1992

When may compensation for disadvantages and party costs be reduced or denied after acquittal or discontinuance?

Decisione estratta

A reduction or denial is permissible only under the same conditions as a costs order against the accused: the accused must have caused or aggravated the investigation through reprehensible or reckless conduct.

Motivazione estratta

The court held that decisions on compensation under §§ 36 f. StPO should in principle follow the allocation of procedural costs. The cited case law and Art. 6(2) ECHR support that compensation cannot be withheld merely because proceedings ended without conviction; a restrictive standard applies.
